It is strange because like all my mates are sure what they want to do accountants and Systems analyists in the main and I feel a bit left out as I have no idea. It is very frustrating not to know.

Good one chap

I volunteered to be a safety officer at work purely to look keen and to make it harder for them to sack me.

They made me redundant last November anyway (lol) and now I'm retraining myself in Health and Safety.

Does making lots of money give you a spark ? :money:

If so you have narrowed your search considerably.

Not especially, I would like to have a decent standard of living but other than that I have no desire for riches.

Have you thought of working for a disabled charity? Weren't you considering working in student support?
