How old are you, and what skills/qualifications do you have?

I can't recommend speaking to a careers adviser, since the only thing that helped me do was decide that I didn't want to be a careers adviser...

 
I am 24, 25 later this year. I have 8 GCSE's, B's and C's and did start A levels but they were not really for me and coupled with another reason that's why I didn't finish my first year. I don't really want to go to college full time now, but would be intersted in a specific skill course if that would help me find a job. I don't have a particular skill, but I am sure with the right training I could pick most things up. By the way, out of everybody I know a careers adviser has not helped anyone, they don't seem to be able to help.
 
Do a short stint in the military? It may help you see what interests you, and it may help focus you a little as well.

:lol: If you knew me you wouldn't suggest that, being in the military is one thing I wouldn't be able to do, I am not cut out for that life. Oh and I have another confession to make, :nervous: I sort of hijacked the confession booth, unintentionally, but I still did it, I won't do it again I promise.:)
 
Become a Police officer like Paulie said, then you could get transfered directly to Australia (we take british cops and make them our own) :D

Now let's see...

Accountant? No
Lawyer? No chance.
Journalist? You nuts?
Playing with lasers? KTHXBAI!

I always thought of it as a job for someone who didn't know what to do with their own career...but who knows.

Yes, it's a bit like asking a priest for sex tips...

However, I must also add that taking careers advice from a postdoc (like me) is just as bad :ill:
 
Nope, dead-set linked, possibly directly.:lol:

Edit: But seriously, you do these things when nobody is watching. I know girls don't just not like me for my looks now, I'm just not "boyfriend" material as you may call it. For some reason I always leave an excellent first impression, then it just slides downhill. I don't know entirely why, but I think a small part is to do with my limited range of conversation topics and interests.

Edit 2: I'm not really a "fun" guy either, but my feeling is that the majority of the rest of the world's interpretation of fun is a little skewed anyway.
That's one of my issues as well. But if you run out of interests, bring up obvious topics; music, partying, drinking, school, job, etc. They're boring topics, sure, but at least you're talking. My luck with my girl friends is usually due to the fact that they are the ones who always want to talk.

But, that's not always a great thing. :P
 
hahaha yeah :D
I love the whole, melting pens with bunsen burners
and you know those wooden splints you get (wee thin bit of wood), A LOT of those have been "used" maybe about... half a trees worth :sly:

Tell me about it,melting the pens in to funny shapes was always one, although some smelt awful when burnt. Splints, they were given out like rations, because the teachers new the pupils would just spend the lessons burning them. Non the less people managed to steal a fistful of them every lesson, which usually led to some sort of competition. Turn the flame onto full and see how short you could burn the splint to whilst holding it into the flame, if you drop it you loose. Plenty of burnt fingers :lol:

Fun times...

+1, mate. :indiff:

Same, and I'm not 17 yet.....

I'm one of the people of my group of school friends that doesnt go to the same college, I chose career over friends and I stand by my decision, but it hurts.
 
Same, I think I'm metally scarred from the amount of rejections.:ouch:
Welcome to the club. Seriously though, life is a game, you haven't lost the game until it's over and it isn't over until you've given up playing it. So never give up no matter how hard it might be. Impossible things do happen, I'm a living example of it.

My problem is the opposite one, hardly anyone even looks at me twice. Those who do often see something they grow to like. The problem is getting that second look but then again, I point to the earlier paragraph.

2 years after you go to college, you won't remember why your high school friends mattered that much. And 2 years after you get out of college, you won't care who your college friends were.

Life moves on. Move with it. If you are always looking backwards you'll never see anything of where you're going.

it's slightly different for me, I go to an all boys college so the friend-girls I think will still matter a lot, and I really only truly respect a few people at college and am good friends with them we shall see 👍
 
Never be afraid of meeting new people, I think I keep in contact with about 3 people from school.

Well I've had 6 and now I'm gay, so look where it got me.

You picked your 6 numbers and got the jackpot?

hahaha
you should have used the the metal clampy type things (tongs or something)
Are you daft boy? :D
Also, putting chemicals such as copper powder oor pottasium permanganate or something onto a splint, then burning it with the bunsen. A great way to learn about different flame colours 👍 :D
I need to find away of covering the smell of the pens.. maybe deoderant... next to bunsens :nervous:
Damn, I should take chemistry next year instead of Fiziks
👍

I don't know anything about music, I don't go partying or drinking, and I usually use up the topics like "jobs" and what not pretty early on.:banghead: I wish the girls were the ones talking, but when it comes to me they don't seem too keen.:dunce:

I am always thinking of old times and old friends.

After I found out what kind of life those "old friends" wanted to live, it became easy to forget them.:P

Does Life come on PS3 as well? It needs to be on PS3 if they want me to buy it.

Otherwise, good things happen to me fairly often (and bad of course), but women is just that one thing that doesn't. On that note, it's entirely reasonable to believe that I will never get a girlfriend, as there will always be people out there who never obtain a partner.


Did you know Dutch people pour mayonnaise all over their french fries? I've seen them do it!

Now THAT'S a come-back.:lol:







Edit: The closest I ever feel to obtaining a girlfriend is when someone jokingly tries to set me up, as they usually have a better way with words.:dunce: Maybe one day one of my friends will get me a girlfriend.:lol:
 
Confession time!

Well theres a lot to confess but the main points include the fact that

A. ive been spending what little money i do have here at home to put into gas so i can see my girlfriend. which is bad because bills dont pay themselves.

B. ^ is because im in that awkward beginning relationship stage where you wanna be with said significant other 24/7 and never wanna be away from them

C. My car has had a check engine light for the past 200 miles and i havnt at all got it checked out because i cant afford to. and now shes at the shop with a possible seized Parking break.

D. i haven't felt at all like applying for jobs which is something i REALLY need to do if i wanna keep a girlfriend.

It's alright to keep in touch with anyone from your previous schools. Just don't expect the same things from them that you did in school. For example, a friend & I were very close. However, when she moved & I went on, things changed. These days, we're still talking, but I don't consider it worth the effort anymore to really get very close when we live far apart.

Basically, let those you're no longer in contact with go, and keep those you do in often contact. You can't keep the same life, but you can keep the same people.

In that note, my confession regards that friend.

I've had a giant crush on her since we met. Been 2 years since, and I can not wait for her to come visit in the summer. :)
