First Class degree at aged 51

RoccoBunny

I'm sorry, everyone blows hot and cold, and I have not enough times to moderate my own thread. All I know, is that I had to try to defend myself. I came on here for a reason, am explicit question. and how many posts offered advice to my question? This is what I will ne asking Martin.

Cannot even be bothered trying to analyse what went wrong, but I know threads become very nasty quickly.

Vulnerable people are not able/ confident, to post on this forum, and will be making Martin aware.

To be fair, your OP did not give the impression you were vulnerable. You were/are just another poster asking for advice. New posters are taken at face value and deemed to be able to engage in adult debate, if that is not the case how are others to know?

Op, if you are vulnerable, how are you going to cope with utilising your degree to work?

Martin no longer owns this site.

I admit you kinda annoyed me with how you tried to come at me previously and I really want to give you a good roasting but whatever, I'll play nice.

IMO just move on, I'm sure there are people making threads who actually want your input.

Give the OP a break now guys, there is no pleasure in e-bullying people.

OK, I will explain...

Firstly, many people are annoyed/upset when someone diverts a thread from the topic under discussion. This thread is posted in a board about employment, and is about career opportunities for an able new graduate. Your question, about financial arrangements after divorce, would belong in the section of this forum about marriage and family life... although it is a simple factual issue that you could easily answer by picking up a legal textbook (which is what I did when I needed to find out about this kind of issue).

Secondly, there is no reason to believe that the OP wanted to talk about her divorce, and probably she did not appreciate your speculation about what her ex may or may not have done.

OP, if you wish to make a complaint, you will need to contact the moderators and explain how you feel. I'm personally not a fan of reporting people but if that's what you want to do then you are fully entitled to (that's one of the reason why they are there)

I read your view/opinion, and I will leave it at that as i gain nothing justifying myself to you (with all due respect).

At the end of the day, it dors not really matter does it. I have academic advice, have had no advice from my original question on here, what a joke some of you are.

You have had a lot of good advice. I said that you shouldn't undersell yourself, that you just need to match your obvious skills to a CV. Others have offered other insights. There have been caveats, but they were not given from the pov of criticism, but help.

From what you say the academic advice you received reduced you to tears, so I am at a loss to know why you perceive this thread to have been more critical or lacking in advice.

Is there anything I could offer to the workplace at my age. I am very cynical nowadays, and speak my mind, but did get through an undergrad degree without falling out with anyone :-)

Human Resources field shouts out to me anyway.

Get your CV off to as many companies as you can think of.

And maturity and life experience is very much valued in the workplace today.

What an achievement. Congratulations, and hope you get a job that suits you very soon. And you will.

melanzana's post was only one of several who congratulated you and gave advice.

If you really want to get a job and keep it, it may be worth working on your interpersonal skills.

I see where you are coming from, but to be fair there are members on this forum who know more about me, then some of my own colleagues do/have done to look at it in another way. x

And that is an insight into employment today. Sat in places where people have barely spoke never mind anything else.

I would far enjoy and just be proud of my achievement, Respects to you.

what my daughter is doing with her first class degree is none of your business, is it?
