Interesting and exciting jobs - Saxperience

Netsky1991 · 11th November 2009, 18:03

Just wondering if anyone here does something different/unusual etc for a living? Or if anyone can think of any jobs like that. Thinking hard about my future recently and getting frustrated!

Cheers.

i had the same problem mate

bedfords got a distict shortage of "good jobs" and i'd just had enough of doing what i was doing

i catch chickens

which you could say is different

wouldnt say exciting tho

Netsky1991 · 11th November 2009, 18:08

Nice one that looks good mate and I know what you mean AshleyP I don't want to get uni though

Working in a transport office, not the most exciting job but very stressful. Unless you have done it you won't appreciate how easy you will have had it in previous jobs lol

i was against uni too.. i still feel unsure weather its the "right thing" to do

but having spoke to various people, it seems that in 10 years time, it'll be hard to find a job without a degree!

and it's worth going just for the experience of it all

That's why I would rather get into a company now and work my way up.

Try mothers day in a busy restaurant

Baker now, nice and peaceful and more money
Not very exciting, but it is unusual that i can now no longer smell freshly cooked bread

auditing for a Big 4 firm - doesn't get more exciting than that !!

i would have liked to have done that, just not enough jobs out there

degree will always give the edge though.

if you look at big retail companys (nationwide ones), you could work up to a store manager in 10 years or so

but getting to the levels above that become a lot harder without degrees etc. plus degree means you can start at a much higher level

the risk of getting in around £25k of debt with the potential to walk into a job paying £20 - £30k straight out of uni, with further progressions after that seems a worthwhile risk to take tbh

I sell big issue.

Netsky1991 · 11th November 2009, 18:17

MrHouston security is something that interests me, do you do that?

Get more than that as a departmental manager at Tesco

im in the merchant navy, had a few different jobs (junior estate manager(shooting estate) manager in morrisons, trainee engineer with scottish power) and this is the best by far

i wouldnt read to much into the degree thing, degree are a piece of piss, and most arent worth the paper there printed on

in 10 years, i think the only degrees worthwhile will be engineering, medicine, vetinary, things like that, shitty degrees in politics should be fucked of out of uni.

there are plenty of good jobs, get a trade, something that pays you through qualifications, whilst your working.
