bet he's got a pitch on the kirkby site, he says his decision will be before xmas, and he is very 'for bill' i bet he's got gallons of silver highlights for him in advance.

You gotta love what you do or its like your serving a sentence.

Done loads of different jobs untill i started my appreticship at 24 never looked back even with this recession crap flying around i love what i do.

Had to take a step down in wages at the time but worth it.

Ask again in five years when all this crap is a distant memory and EFC have retained the title for the third year running.

Go after the money - it's the reason you work right? To make money. But if you feel like your current job is getting stale then get out, a change is as good as a holiday, it's good to leave all your old crap behind and start fresh as well.

take time out, stick on a backpack and do it while you can. you may even get a better offer along the way.
job satisfaction has to be the more important, there's nothing worse than being stuck doing something you hate, my job satisfaction comes from the fact that i get to spend a lot of time with the kids, i dont earn anywhere near what i did, but i had to do a job i detested and never wanted to do from the start, and working ridiculous shift patterns. we would be better off financially but i would have a life dictated by work. as long as i get enough to pay the bills, the kids are happy and we all have our health then that's all i need. a winning team would be appreciated as well.

that's easy for me to say though, cos i didnt go to uni and get a top degree, i would imagine the jobs that you would be offered would be totally different to what i was, although i did hoik back here from a job that i enjoyed with a decent wage in nz, probably the only job i've had that could've led to better things.

Become a 'citizen of ithaca' and chill for a while, the university of life has a campus in most destinations, and is to be recommended.

If you can travel while you're still young and relatively responsobility free then i say do it. There's so much amazing stuff to see and do. If cost is an issue there are still plenty of options. My bro lived in Japan for 18mths teaching english, no specail qualifications required. His mate is doing similar in the Czech Republic. You could work a few seasons in a ski resort by winter, and the med in summer. Or volunteer to go to Africa or South America to help build wells/schools etc.

Ultimately it depends what you want with your life. Ive travelled a bit and worked abroad, but a couple yrs ago i took a promo at work because i knew that in a few years ill want my own house, think about kids etc, and you need £££ for that, so...

Option 4 you'd be looking at a 3 year commitment which might see you 6 months out in Afghanistan, or maybe somewhere a little more pleasant, but it's all dependent on who you join.

I'd recommend the experience while you're young and she's at Uni.

....Afganistan...you know you want to...

 

[gordonjblair]

it'll be a little bit safer now they're getting the Merlins too (not much like)

 

[teppic]

make hay while the suns shines and all that.

go for the money and open a pension and savings account.

it's always ok to be poor when you are young, but when you are old you need the moolah behind you.

take the first job/option on your list, get all the contacts you need and then after 5 years.. who knows?

set out on your own with money you saved...


everyone will have different opinions so the real decision is yours.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

He said moolah there.

a belters word if i heard one.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I hear international Piracy is very lucrative...and offers excellent job satisfaction (Capuring bad belters and extorting money from their sad governments, and oil companies)...

However you must provide your own weaponary and sandwiches

I'd go for the M4 folding stock carbine accompanied by a regular cheddar cheese and spiced chutney sandwich...
Perfect for those long sea voyages searching out ill prepared and undefended merchant vessels!
