    Aren't there loads of call centre type jobs? Or data entry jobs?

    Or local authority jobs (sending out forms etc).

    Or library jobs.

    Or filing jobs.

    Or pizza delivery jobs.

    I do not want to work at a call centre, they are horrible to work at, and I not going to have suffered the last 5 years of studying for a job I could have got with no GCSEs.

    I thought you had no objections to starting on the bottom rung to get some experience!
    And how do you know they're horrible places to work? Worked there before?

    A friend of mine did it and she loved it, she's a talker too.

    What about credit control?

    but go, get a job you might hate and get some experience......... you can't go straight in to where you want to be - no job does that. expecting your first job to be everything you want is just unreasonable. you have to put some time in doing things you don't want to do to be able to get where you want in the future.

    That's cos you aren't looking any wider than your own university! :rolleyes:

    For the logical reasons I can get there and you do not have to be a business expert to work there and there are lots of interesting jobs.

    How do you know that a call centre job is horrible?

    I did one for a few years (part time on top of my full time job and study) and I LOVED it. Was a great atmosphere and I made some great friends there, as well as earning a fair bit of money.

    You are soooooooooooooo narrowsighted (whichever SP you are :rolleyes: )

    I wouldn't call call centres the bottom rung - if I ever have to phone a call centre, I'm always delighted if I find someone knowledgeable, efficient and pleasant.

    Frankly I'd clean toilets for a living if I had to to pay the bills, but then I have a strong work ethic and don't expect anything to be handed to me on a plate. Sounds like you haven't thought this through and don't really want a job. Your biggest problem is going to be your snobbish unrealistic attitude. Hopefully you'll grow up once you're in the real world and realise you can't have it all your own way.

    Because everyone says they are the modern factories and they treat their workers like junk and therre ae no propects.

    I am certainly not wasting all my effort in study to achieve nothing in life like so many do.

    !!!!!! Phil.

    NOT EVERYONE HAS DEGREES IN BUSINESS.

    THE MAJORITY OF JOBS DON'T NEED IT!

    Stop looking for negatives and just do SOMETHING!!!
