Changing from being a purchasing manager? I would not, it's a dream job - at least if you do it for the GameBoy company, as I do. {do nightmares fall under dreams?}

Me im unemployed and depressed. My low 2:2 law degree and masters in law are worth nothing!!! Nothing i tell you!!! *storms out* leaves contact card on table. Hey Alrik you programme computer games??? Im thinking of making a game..indeed i already have some ideas and have written down alot of the features of the game the skills/stats etc/...naturally cause i know squat about the programming side you would think its a waste of time but its a pet project of mine. No, I can't program a game - I simply have not enough knowledge & experience in that. I like programming databases, however. I love SQL besides Java and I think VB, and these are my favourite programming languages. Currently, I'm trying to refresh my kowledge in VB and learn PHP and Delphi a bit. Besides, tragic, I can understand your position right now - from own experience.

maybe the two of u should combine your programming & legal powers to make some awesome games which can be a lawyer RPG, lawyer adventure game, lawyer Sims, lawyer shoot-em-up (this one will be mighty successful ;D ).

I do rework on bottles of relish at a pickle factory. Not bad but I'm currently going to school during the fall/winter to get my masters so I can become an English professor

Hang in there tragic and keep pounding the streets. Don’t follow the norm and just look at papers, internet, and submit resumes. You need to actually take a deep breath, swallow, and start kicking down doors like a mad man. The main thing is to get an interview from the main person who actually decides things. Easier said than done, but I’ve walked right into places not even hiring and talked directly with those hiring and got hired that day. Yes, I got a lot of no see you later too, but I got a job in less than a month doing that. Sometimes you have to get a job to get a job. I’ve got a job scrubbing toilets, until I finally found a different job where I got hired at. I know it's hard, but I also know you can do it; because, you're a winner. Take care tragic @ Glance, Yes, my dream job that I’m in college for will have me doing something very fun and exciting. ;D

Thx Tsel, if that counted for me too ;D I'm starting to look for another job, I'm gonna do my best to get the hell out of that highschool, and get a decent job, where I can be proud of myself and no longer be ashamed if people ask me what I do for a living

Anytime Kylia-Esme, the same support I send Alrik’s way as well. Hey, I’m sporting two College Loans to go through college right now. I don’t know how your countries college systems work, but that degree makes all the difference in the world. Get it. Things maybe hard right now, but 20 years after that degree you’ll be very happy you did get it. Good Luck to all

I go through it sometimes too. What you do says nothing of who you are. For those who say it does they are diluted egotists with empty souls who can only feel pride about external meaningless "achievements". Title does not dictate behavior.

As riverman says. And no job deserves to be despised (apart from lobbyist or lawyer, maybe ;D ), even less a reason for the individuals who do it to be. But the most important is that you do something that doesn't make you unhappy, preferably one that you really love (whatever people might think; there's always one that'll find something wrong anyway ). Good luck for your your search.

riverman is right. never be ashamed of what you. no matter what the job, do it to the best of your ability and you will always have reason to be proud of what you do. what you do for a living doesn't say who you are or the kind of person you are. it is what's on the inside that counts. it is what people will remember most about you.

yes, she is, and right too - and I'd add functionaries and politicians (a lot of which are lawyers^^), though I concede that while politics is a dirty business - it's a profitable business!
