What did you do? Specimen handler? I tried to break into that as I was doing my undergrad, to no avail; I didn't get anywhere in the field until I received my retainer in 2009. Which was subsequently rescinded as all hell broke loose. Apparently letters of recommendation, honors letter, training at prestigious Nobel laureate research institutes and vouches from PhD's were for naught. I had offers for (his) post-doc research by a professor in biochem, I had to turn it down as I was carrying 15 units that semester and I didn't feel like disappointing or slowing down the pace. Fuck academia.

I manage a record store/head shop. If only the pay was better

Medical Underwriting Administrator. Pays ok, people are alright and theres very mimimal pressure on my job. I can just forget everything at 5pm and also get to use DSF during the day......FTW.

Builder. Not much else to say.

no academic reasons i passed the year.
for some reason i decided all my uni choices on deadline day without reading the book and just picked the best 5 for my course which also happened to be the 5 most boring/strict.
got a police caution for the most minor offence ever and they showed me the door. nice one.

Yea those are the good days, breakfast at the cafe in the morning, pub at lunchtime. But when its pissing with rain and shit needs to get done, you dont get such luxuries!
Alot of our work is fixing stuff that has been bodged in the first place. Often BUT NOT ALWAYS by eastern european tradesmen.
This is what the customers/guvnor tell me anyway.

Then again I suppose given the odds that the fellas on any given site will be Polish that's to be expected.

I used to work on a site but it was keeping up with the paper trail as opposed to working with my hands.

Now I'm out of work and studying again, doing something with very little societal value. I do love it though.

The record company is what I would LOVE to do for the rest of my days.

Was it you that was doing the psychology degree?

I'm the Technical Accounts Manager for an inkjet company. I go around looking for research and development contracts, look after customer interests, help direct some of the research work, do general troubleshooting amongst other things.

Yep, it was me.

Good luck with getting into mental healthcare! Takes forever but could be well worth it!

It's well planned for...

I'm 25 now so I've only just become eligible for (the majority of) counselling courses in my local area.
Have a few contacts in the NHS too so once i'm in my course, I'll try and hook up a good apprenticeship
so it's not totally impossible either. I know it's ridiculously hard to get into - but without sounding
too corny or shit, I actually just want to help people.

I like the way you feel the need to clarify that it was an accident...
