Career Change

[Paulie Dangerously]

Passed my literacy skills test today. Maths one on Weds which will be the big one for me

[stringvest]

Thanks folks. First beers of the year tonight and a scurry with Lady D to celebrate

 

 

did you have spoppadums with it?

I need a career change. Actually, that implies I already have a career to change. What I need is a career.

 

Essentially I am fed up with being paid buttons to work an insultingly easy job under people who aren't as smart as me and would like to earn a salary commensurate with my ability.

 

I don't want to wait too long, so things like doctor, lawyer etc are out, because I'm simply not willing to put in the years required. So it would have to be something where I could be shown the ropes reasonably quickly. I never encountered anything I couldn't do (plenty I didn't want to do, and even more I couldn't be arsed doing) so once I have picked up the basics, it wouldn't take long to master it.

 

I know what I'm letting myself in for posting on here, but if I get one or two serious suggestions among the comedy ones, great.

Good luck! This explains the lack of transfer news.

Nice one Paulie.

 

I’d hate to sit a maths test nowadays.

[Strontium]

Not had a maths test since I was 14. Hate maths.

Figure out what you like doing and what environment you like being in. Start with your current job and your outside life, which bits do you like? Once you’ve thought that through, then suggestions for jobs that you’d enjoy will be a lot easier. And don’t chase the biggest salary

My work has a few "apprentice" Business Analyst roles on at the moment.  Study/project work mix while studying for a NVQ4 qualification.  More or less the same paygrade as I'm at now and I'm sorely tempted.  The idea of working on projects that actually end (rather than become your daily grind) is undeniably attractive.

A technical sales role is good for academic people who are good communicators. Less gift of the gab and more product/industry knowledge. Selling into a sector that interests you. Decent money for hard working proffesional individuals.

What age group are you looking to teach, Paulie?

 

I usually go to the guided reading session they have every week in my daughters reception class and the kids whose parents don’t go swarm around me like flies around shit. I’m like the pied piper every Tuesday afternoon.

 

The teacher put me on the spot last week and asked me to go along as one of the helpers on a trip to the zoo today because the kids all like me. I couldn’t really say no even though it’s not something I’d ordinarily see myself doing.

 

It was reception class, plus years one and two and I was allocated my own group of kids from across all three age groups to keep an eye on/walk around with. I appreciated the job the teachers do before today but I’ve got a whole new level of respect for them now. It was rewarding and pretty fun but I’m absolutely shattered.

 

Fucking heroes, all of them. Sometimes it’s hard enough just having one 4/5/6 year old at home, even though my daughter is good as gold. At least you’ve got the option of putting them in front of the telly or on a tablet for half an hour to give yourself a rest.

Just got confirmation my offer is now unconditional after showing them my GCSEs etc.  Just jumping through hoops to get the student loan sorted to pile on the last one. 

 

Walking round campus yesterday, I have never felt as old and bald.

Congrats - join the club. Once you become a teacher, you suddenly feel very old.

Well, I'm going to Uni. Got 3 assignments due in on Tuesday but with my grades so far I'm definitely through and sorted as long as I don't fail on those which I won't.

Had the same, fortunately there are two other guys who had applied for my course who are both in their 30s so I won't be the only one wandering around looking like some kind of bald sex pest.
