Job-seeking twentysomethings like myself are often unemployed and living in a surreal post-university daze. We strived through GCSE's to be allowed to to A-levels. We studied through A-levels to go to the university that looked the most prestigious so we could show-off to family and friends. We drank our way through university only to realise that university doesn't last forever and even after several months of agony writing a dissertation with a seemingly eternal hangover there is still no guaranteed job or income in the end of it.
Soon after finishing you get the letters through your parents door stating that you need to pay the money you borrowed from the state to fund your socialising, drinking, fun and frolics for the previous 3 years... oh and your education. So, what next?
This twentysomething has decided to change career choices ( originally decided upon when 17 and clueless) and do a course in business, marketing, law, finance and IT. Hopefully to prepare for the ominous world of work.
Lesson 1: Touch-typing....
GCSE's, A-levels and a degree and now learning to type in a more efficient method of typing - cheers schooling. 8 years after my first qualification assignments and NOW i am being taught how to type, format and use IT effectively?! Time for a glass of Sauv Blanc and to reminisce about those days when money just seemed to appear in my bank account termly (providing student finance behaved) and a good job seemed enviable...
