9. Tess has a strong work ethic (even if she ignored her parents advice). "My mum and dad considered a good job either nursing or working at a bank because, then, a job at a bank was for life and you had an interest-free mortgage and a pension. My mum thought that was the perfect job and tried to persuade me," she said. We're glad she didn't listen!
