    How about the GTP?

    Schools are failing anyway, so it wouldn't do any harm :D

    You would be hitting 20k after a year.

    Yep, all over and done with, no hope for any further ambitions, aspirations or dreams...all done and dusted at the age of 21 and 27/68ths :rolleyes:

    I do have dreams and targets. I know now that I would like to work in property or facilities management, but I have to find 7k for the masters first before I can do that.

    Doctors can't get me a good job which I should have with my education and society expects me to have and if I had the success I should have then I won't feel like this.


    But just because you get a degree, you are not entitled to a life - you have to grab hold of one all by yourself. Either that or be born rich! You don't have more of a right to a life or job than those who don't hold a degree.

    If everything was handed to you, you would never know the true value.

    I've worked with tons of graduates, some are excellent but many are also the opposite. Studying doesn't mean are able to deal with it in real life. Even doctors have to start off at the bottom of their chain and spend many years working their way up you know!

    Without a positive attitude you could hold every qualification in the world and still be on a checkout.

    our facilities manager doesn't have a masters :confused:

    and we're putting him through COSHH training
  • You just don't know what it does to your self worth when you aren't even able to have a full time job.

    How do you know we dont what it is like???? Many of us struggle to keep a job or lose employment. Some of us are unable to work because of disability or caring responsibilities...and yes, it gets you down but you dont see many of us assume we are the only ones in that predicament.

    You on the other hand ARE able to get a FT job - you just dont have the get up and go.
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    maybe they could help you to feel/be more positive which in turn might help with the jobs?

    sounds like NLP could really help you, phil.

    What I could do with is just meeting my targets, going back to being 18 and retraining all over again for a new career.
