[addiction]

would just like to say a big thanks to all u guys for rushing to my aid in my career crisis meltdown. Do u all honestly not think about jobs n stuff? Christ, im reduced to answering my own thread....

Give us a break, the Bill was on tv!

Um, careers wise, I'm in 4th year now and I've been looking into stuff, mostly interested in teaching. I'm going to germany next year to teach English for a year, to give me some experience, so hopefully I can come back and apply for a course and get in!

I know this is most people's idea of hell, but it's something I'd really like to do!

Hope that helps!

well actually, a TEFL course ranks high in my options. Loving the idea of travelling the world and teaching. Not immensly secure tho, a lot of jobs are seasonal, esp in UK, and abroad, contracts are short. so not sure about long term prospects.

ha..do you want to visit China?
one of my friends hires British people to teach English in Beijing!!
a fantastic place I have ever been!

In that case, don't think about long term prospects. Work your way around the world doing temporary work, in bars, hotels etc. Either never stop travelling, or hope to catch something like malaria that may negate you having to work ever, so long as you're not too bothered about being cured.

yup, China's definitely on my to do list. Gotta finish the degree first.

I'm hoping to go into primary teaching, so after I finish here and (hopefully) get an MA I'll have to do a PGCE course. Don't know where to do it though; financially it would be better to do it in England, but I think I'd rather go home to Northern Ireland and do it there.

But, you never know, I could end up in a totally different job
