    Re this brain mushing decision stuff, I went to the careers place at uni when I went and looked at the files of past students who went on to do jobs that I was interested in.

    They listed what areas of work they were interested in, what courses were best suited and what it wasn't worth doing.

    Also listed what salaries they then went on to get.



    I wanted to go into criminal justice with juveniles, had a looksy and realised exactly what course I needed to do that unlocked the key to that particular door.

    Maybe worth a look?:confused:

    Lil_me - wishing you (and DP) the best of luck in your exams, keep calm

    Pigpen - hope you are recovering from your fall and the ankle/foot is less painful. Courses - can't add to anything already said but why is the deadline 3 weeks, thought it was beginning of January for most courses? Godd choosing vibes for you.

    Mudbath - glad you are feeling a bit better, hope the arnica works. I reckon your DS may just take after you :rotfl:

    KazW - glad 'it' works

    Michelle - hope you got a better night's sleep

    KazM - with a bit of luck tonight was a one-off and you'll get more help tomorrow

    Serena - (hugs) re DS and work

    Zed42 - I have a room like that and have ground to a halt on it, it is 99% paperwork & files

    Flying today nil - out visiting this pm and then working when I got in at 6, need a good day on work tomorrow and the lists
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board
