Getting the job done.

So I'm graduating this week.  After all the hum-ing and hah-ing, putting off work by going to university, and just general laziness, now is the crunch.  I have no other option but to work.

Those of you who know me will know that I always seem to be working.  And not just the one job, but two or three at the same time.  And over the last few weeks, despite wanting to soak up new found (adult) freedom I found job after endless job to do.  In fact I even started unconsciously flipping through the infuriating GRB website and joining more (equally frustrating) graduate sites.  So I'm sat here, little less than a month from finishing my exams working two jobs and waiting to hear back from three more.

This is my situation:-

  1. A holiday rep job.  The perfect opportunity to travel and work courtesy of a massive money making travel agents.  Status: REJECT.
  2. Learning tutor in a Secondary School.  The possibly opportunity to enter an educational environment for a years contract lending itself to further training qualifications. Status: FAIL TO GET BACK TO ME.
  3. Science Explainer.  A role as a fun explainer of all things science-y, including giving talks in a planetarium and science lab. Status: CONSIDERING.
  4. Education Support Worker.  Helping those who have neuropsychological disorders get the education they require by providing assistance.  Status: INTERVIEW (finally)
  5. Library assistant.  Working to shape up my college library. Status: ONGOING.
  6. College tour guide.  Showing people around and adopting a lively entertaining manner. Status: ONGOING (never-ending seemingly)
And here's me thinking that maybe I did just deserve to take a year out...
But now I have a new semi-goal...reach the £10,000 stage in under a year...Oh please, please, please!
Just £9,800 to go...
