Grad Jobs

So Grade jobs seem to be the main way that people get into jobs after uni. 

Some of my friends are applying to lots of random ones. Big banks, corporate firms, firms which I don’t think they even know what they do. A lot of genuinely are interested in that field, so for them applying there, it makes total sense and I couldn’t be happier for them when they get the job. 

But I can’t help but get the feeling that a lot of them are like me. They are applying there because they don’t know what else to do, but truly, they really don’t want to be working there. 

As I already said, I love making videos. I love making entertaining content and then seeing people’s reaction. So for me, production made sense. Only thing is, (especially as far as my parents are concerned), that’s like saying I want to be a rockstar or an astronaut. 

I get that it’s extremely difficult, but if you believe in yourself, then why not pursue it? There are only two graduate schemes that I have found that are available, this being on Channel 4, and Shine TV. Of course I will apply for these, but it may mean taking a risk and doing something a bit less snazzy first, like being a runner.

I have no problem with this. Learn the trade, get experience, earn a bit of money. I have no problem where I work in production as long as there is always the opportunity to climb higher. That’s the key to motivation I think. 

You always here the term DEAD END JOB. You may say I’m young and naive, but as long as there is always something to aim for above where I am, how can you end up in a dead end job? 

Anyway, until next time where the real stuff happens.

How to decide what to do after graduation?

As if graduation is coming? Literally 5 minutes ago, I swear I was this fresher kid pulling up to uni for the first time ever looking forward to spending the next few years getting pissed and attempting to chat to girls. 

Fast forward four years later, and I’m about to graduate, with absolutely NO CLUE what I’m going to do with my life. 

I did International Relations and Economics. Usually when I tell people this (mainly my parents friends), they proceed to ask me what I think of Jeremy Corbyn, or whether I think Britain should leave the EU. My usual answer is “ermmm, I can’t say I’ve read too much about it, but I’ll agree with whatever you say”. In reality, politics is far from my passion. 

You know how you get some of those people in school you are like “I don’t know what subject to take, there’s so much to choose from!”. Well I was the opposite to those lucky ones. I didn’t have a clue what to do, so I just went for it and took what looked like a nice, general, not too difficult course. To be fair, it has met all my expectations. It has been a nice and easy ride. But now I have no think what I ACTUALLY want to do, and I have no clue! 

All my friends are looking for jobs, mostly in banks or big corporate firms. But quite frankly, I can’t think of anything worse than sitting behind a desk all day sorting out stuff I don’t care about. 

I do have this little dream, which is to get into film. Not being a superstar actor, but the production side of things. I just love making videos. So that is what I plan on finding even if it kills me and my parents kick me out or start making me pay rent. 

I’m going to carry on this blog as I go along putting in my thoughts and progress. So if this even slightly relates to you or you’re not sure what to do with life, follow me, and you may just get some tips ;)
