They are jobs still out there, just depends on what exactly you want to do and your willing to do.
Personally if it was me, i would go do a winter season aboard.

I wish in a way I did repping. I left school at 18 then went to Malia for the summer and went stright into a job. Looking back I wish I had more balls. If my life ever goes tits up I shall do this route for sure!
I'm in too much debt now to afford to go for a job like this now! plus I don't think the GF would be to happy! I would take the job in Andorra if i were you. Would be good, I've been there 3/4 times and loved it every time. What have you got to loose if you went and then didn't like it. Its only a few months of your life. Plus you earn a few quid.
Can I ask how much will you earn for a season?
Tom

Exactly the same as me.
I wanted to be a rep/work aboard when i was at school. Having a girlfriend and getting too used to having money once i left meant it never happened.
Now I'm in a job i hate more then anything in my life. Im forever spending money and listening to people moan about money all the time.
i would love the change in lifestyle but im too comfortable and scared of change now.

Don't get me wrong but I love my life now, although it is hard at present. I wish I did things slower in my life. I now have a well paid job, a large mortgage and a long term GF. I also had the chance to do repping I had a job lined up and every thing.
I still have a number of friends who are working as reps, two are now "managers" in two different places in France, they seem to earn ok for what they do.
If I had my time again I would do at least a few years of repping and then go into "proper" work once I was about 25!!!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr no amy! but that made me laugh looking back now if I had been insulting
no I just mean I've spent the last year sort of wondering what the frig to do, major headache thinking about what to do, what the future holds, what the foooook is happening with the economy etc etc (hence head explosion comment)... Real, proper job iz gay, so I opted go down the education route... wish I chose to party instead.

Doesnt matter what economy you're in.
£5k a year salary isnt worth anything in any economic climate.
How can you decide to fly home when its a major chunk of your annual earnings. Serious.
EDIT: Sayer, should have said you were a single dad.
