I'm at Uni for another 6 months or so, what I do then is not yet known, but I have a few ideas. I can try and get a job in software design, web design, multimedia or something similar. At this juncture I couldn't care less, I've been at Uni for so long that full time employment is becoming a myth to me. I have put serious consideration into joining the RAF. A friend has done just that and swears it's the best thing he's ever done. Since I was young I've wanted to be a pilot, that ain't going to happen I know, but still the RAF draws me to it. A great job, job security, good pay, you get to see some of the world (which is something I yearn for) and a lot of new people to meet ...... Still .... undecided for the minute.

For the time being I'm at Uni a few days a week, and the rest of the week I'm working as a cretin in a local engineering company. I get told to put part (A) onto part (B), while bolting on part (C) and the like, you've probably all had similar terrible jobs.

Anyway, I desperately want to get out and do something different. So much so I've already written out my notice, with intent to hand it in on monday. But a nagging voice tells me it's a bad idea. The next part time job I get could be just as terrible, and may involve working at night, which would mean I would have to abstain from the karate and jujitsu lessons that I love so much, and have become part of me over time. Even so, I hate this current job so much I am willing to make that sacrifice, which is saying something. It'll only be til next July when I finish my course, but still ...

So many decisions - they've been a long time coming, the truth is I've been at Uni to avoid them, as a lot of people do.

No matter what others say to you, it's only you who can make the decision at the end of the day, but knowing this makes it no easier.

*sighs*

Such minor problems probably seem trivial, but the last time I felt this stressed I was doing my dissertation.

Like I said ... I need a kick up the ass ....

Thank you for at least reading this .....

You the stuff you've learnt in your degree - maybe you could be a IT tutor at GCSE/A-level standard?

cheers for the input - it's an idea, but I think I need to get a decent about of knowledge in my chosen industry first - through employment. nearly all my knowledge is theoretical :(
