No degree? Fuck off we don’t want ya!

As for teaching try to do the graduate on the job route and think about future job prospects. I wanted to go into it but teachers round eher are 10 a penny.

I wanted to go to Liverpool Uni and was told that my qualifications had to be taken in the past 2 years or they did not count. Apparently my consist studying and recent HNC in another subject was not good enough!

People tell me I am too qualified and to shave my CV but I have worked hard for it and don't want to start chopping off my qual's.

It must pss you off to get into that debt with no job at the end of it.

I'm starting in September but for a vocational degree. I want a career and don't want to study my main interest with the hope of no job. I'll keep my hobbies and my career distinct, thanks.

Tis all about money now not about a 50% target at all!

I dont have a degree and it pisses me off to see that they want a graduate to be a secretary, now without being rude, why would a graduate want to be a secretary??

Because:

- for the last 10 years I've wanted to do a job with a low level of responsibility and am willing to accept low pay as a result;
- when I left uni I was fucking skint and had to grab the first shitty job that came along instead of having the luxury of considering my options at mummy and daddy's nice big house, rent-free - consequently I've moved from one shitty low-level job to the next instead of moving up the career ladder, whatever that means;
- I am a chronic underachiever due to events in my past and natural inclination (now changing...slowly);
- I have NO IDEA AT ALL what I want to do apart from write and make music, neither of which offers a stable financial grounding and must therefore be taken as spare time hobbies;
- I have no understanding of how the whole career ladder concept works (see above) and am naturally underconfident in relation to my undoubted abilities.
