    I am on the job hunt again!
    I'm not really sure what I want to do but i do know I don't want to be on minimum wage my whole life! I have a degree so didn't think it would be as hard as it is to find a job but apparently it is! I managed to get a few interviews before xmas but I didn't get any further than that I did put the job hunt on hold for a while as I thought I had found something but I am looking again
    If anyone knows of any jobs going it would be much appreciated if you could let me know. I am looking at loads of job websites every day but they seem to include a lot of crap jobs!!

    anway, rant/beg over with

    Any ideas on what you'd like to do?

    Starting on low wages doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

    What subject is your degree?

    my degree is in psychology with legal studies but i'm not sure where i want to go with that :-/ i starting uni doing law with psychology but realised that law wasnt for me so changed my major to psychology rather than drop out as i was enjoying that.
    i don't really know what i want to do, have been applying for administrator jobs but am looking at any jobs in the area to see if anything take my fancy

    If you're really stuck for ideas you could top your psychology degree up to a Masters then look for something in that field?

    You can get a loan for a masters but having received my student loan statement last week I'm reluctant to borrow anymore when I have no idea when I will start to repay it!

    They'll give you another loan for the masters but it's just more debt and no further job prospects really.

    I think nowadays you have to take any job you can get just to get started and gain some experience even if it's just stacking shelves in tescos :-/
