He spent 1 yr at Nelson College again playing rugby, running and swimming, studying engineering. During a rugby game at college he was kicked in the face and had the bone in his nose removed.

He left after 1 yr starting work at the Tahunanui service station, but in 1941 the japanese came into the war and motorists were rationed petrol to 4 gallons per month so he left there and started as an apprentice baker & pastry cook at H Croucher & Sons in Richmond. During that time he learned ballroom dancing.

On leaving the navy he returned to Nelson, worked for AJ Bradshaw who wholesaled Reid-Rubber tyres, Castrol oil and Vestor batteries.
