  • I don't know what my mates will do as they are still at uni but a business or computing grad is going to get further than a philosophy one aren't they?

    Any graduate who is prepared to use initiative, put in hard work, cut the apron strings from Mum and Dad will get on. You do not fit the description no matter what course you had chosen to study.
    You are nearly 22 - we have been tryong to advise you for a few years now ..only YOU can change your life. In my heart of hearts I know that you will not change and if your Mum and dad live to a ripe old age you will be right there with them...sad and alone in the next room not allowed to have visitors.
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)
  • I don't know what is letting me down but I want to change it.


    lack of experience
    lack of initiative
    lack of motivation
    lack of personality
    lousy attitude
    miserable outlook on life.

    there.
  • so some volunteer work in an office and a second job in tesco might do him the world of good?? interesting

    (i say might cos it won't fix the personality/attitude)

    Phil .... wanna know a secret: it doesn't change. You're going through what thousands of others do every day.

    You just have to try things when you spot a chance and not get miffed off with it if it doesn't work out.
    Then try again.

    It's called life. It sucks.

    Some people are lucky by geography, education, contacts or plain luck.
    Some have a talent or special skill, but not most of us.

    You just have to do what you can each day really. And soldier on.

    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    seriously?

    is that true, phil?
  • From memory I think its handling cash that worries him, how to work a till, how to change a £20 note, how to deal with the petty cash, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on......
    There are people who find certain things difficult that others do not, you are obviously blessed and have no such problem.

    Eh up.

    Phil Phil Phil; dear oh dear - this is not good.

    If you spent half as much time on looking outward as you spend on this forum - you might actually get somewhere.

    Nobody gets anywhere just moaning about getting nowhere; it just sends you round and round into a downward spiral.

    I don't have any actual answers; only you can change things. You can't blame your degree; either use it or go get some more quals/experience to get yourself a job that you want/need...and whilst you are at home you can do that. Or, leave home and take a risk...
