In my immense wisdom I decided to take a gap year before going to uni to save up as much money as possible.
But getting a job is harrrd. You have to, like, go and try and stuff XD
I have found a few really ace ones like Art technician and Memorial Designer/Sand Blaster but they're fucking hours away *sobs*
Anyone want to buy me for £250 a week as a lifestyle consultant/personal bitch?
Edit: I live in La West Midlands, in the unlikely case of anyone on here knowing anything good XD *desperete*

But it's often boring and soul-destroying.
Steer clear of call centres.

Temping was always my last resort, which isnt all that bad considering the money..
But it does consume peoples souls XD My ex used to field all sorts of angry idiots on the phone and after being called an idiot all day long was convinced of his worthlessness. Now, I could handle angry people, it's just that i'd fight back, and you tend to get fired for telling people "Fine, just fuck off then, i dont care if your gas is off, do the world a favour and die" etc etc
Maybe some sort of data entererer. But that's just tedious. Unless I was stuck working with a load of I.T trolls with the social graces of a trekkie, then I could be the king of the office : D

There's a really good blog about call centres that I got to by following a series of links either from Popjustice or Lowculture. If I can remember exactly where it was, I'll post the link up here.

I'm presently temping and doing deadly dull data entry but the money's good, the people are nice, there's scope for promotion and the've just bought us all ice lollies because the air conditioning's broken.
my advice is to do some work experience that will help your post-uni job hunting

I am also currently temping, having people abuse me over the phone on a daily basis. However, I am not bitter, cos it's all part of my bigger plan. Everybody has to do tedious things before they reach the exciting things!*
