Having a degree from Cambridge and having a semi- decent job is better than having a job where you only work pt and spend all day staking books and it gives you almost no development and no where to go and nothing really to offer a better job.

Don't you ever get bored?

Thought you loved your job...(staking books
in a sort of reverse-vampire sort of way)!

lol, I do like it, but it isn't forever, its not even ft to start with, but sometimes I just look and think I have nothing to offer for a better job and after many rejections it can't just be in my head.

As far as I can tell life is made much easier if you go to a top 10 uni and get a nice job where all the training and a clear career structure is there for you.

Um phill


yes many of these people are employed in so called good jobs but thats nothing too do with the qualification...It basically means they can apply themselves better than the next man..

You go to any Hedgefund company in the city and everybody there not only got VERY good marks in their Uni finals but they probably are good at other stuff aswell( ie sport) many of them will ahve the oppurtunity to of turned profesional in their sport...many of them also run their own succsesfull business on top of their 70+hour weeks...The qualification they have dosen't mean anything They could have a double first in Medieval Languages it aint going to help them in the stock market but it does mean they can apply them selves mor ethan most and unlike a lot of people are able to concentrate on many things at once most of them contradiciting each other...

I didn't go to uni, flunked my A levels, had a couple of jobs before the children, went back to work in a job below my experience because I needed the money and worked my way up by putting in the hours and the extra effort. No laid out plan, no help from my employer, finally got my dream job and was recently head hunted to an even better position which pays loads more than I ever dreamed I could earn.

Phil if you hate your job start looking for another one, being fulltime won't make you hate it less and looking at what other people have got with envy is not going get you where you want to be in life.

I know we have done this so many times :rotfl:

I see that, it is nice if hard work lets you move up the ladder, there is no ladder for me because someone who has even worked onTesco tills is more suitable for the next grade of job than me who tries my best at my current job and have always given more. But at least ft would give me an income rather than just pocket money.

Not for much longer, my post ends in a few months and I am going to be no better off than I was when I started. I will still have nothing to offer to get a decent job.
