Off Topic Change Of Career

There was a few Leeds fans

 

At Open University it's Politics, Philosophy and Economics but at Oxford University it's Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
Weird.

 

Did you do it as well, Hat?

 

He teaches it. In fact he is the worlds leading authority on the subject.

 

Nothing like a bit of encouragement...

 

Well all politicians deserve to die so hopefully he can still be saved.

 

A bit rich coming from a Media Studies graduate. A bit like the kettle calling the pot black

 

I think you'll find I did English as well as Media Studies.

Gotta have something to fall back on

 

Good luck with the course and the job hunt.

 

Who said I want to be a politician? I could want to work for the Civil Service or in finance or in the diplomatic sector

 

Good luck Casual, I hope it all works out for you

 

English graduate using the word "gotta"?

 

Yea blud.

 

Might want to consider vocational training.

Never see a starving plumber or electrician.

 

Best of luck to The Casual. Enjoy learning.

 

Truth accepted.

And if big money is your bag, look at that 'Rod Stewart through a mangler' Pimlico ****.

Seriously though, good trades to have.

 

If you lived in Hull that model would never work.
He charges £200 for something a person in Hull could get for £50.

 

Know plenty of folks who say my lad or daughter is doing a Masters in Applied Anal Hygiene or Sustainable Turbine Design analysis.

But where are the jobs?

You render yourself unemployable if you go into such a niche area and you don't have those vacancies nearby.

Bottom line you need to eat, pay the rent/mortgage and have stability otherwise you'll always be on rung one, stranded on the starting grid

Not easy to change horses once you're over 30 either, you're chasing the leading pack who have several years experience over you.

If/when I am reincarnated it will be deffo as a plumber/electrician, or failing that a high class undertaker.

 

Fat chance!

 

I went self employed at around 40 but at least I'd been employed in the same line of work all my working life. It took a few years to get going but then it really took off. I'm happy to not employ people. There's the possibility of more money to be made if you do employ people but it comes with a lot more stress.
