Your Job (or one you are working towards)

Support Analyst at a Uni... not very specialised, average pay but there's plenty of little things that make this a pretty good job - pension, flexi time, decent pay scheme, plenty of internal job opportunities, benefits of working for a large public body...

Took me ages to get my first IT job - it was a smallish company that used always take on young people with no IT experience - they give loads of my mates their opportunities to start off in IT

What does a Support Analyst do exactly? General computer suppot?

yeah, but not just general day-to-day "push this button, that'll fix it" type stuff, but also finding more long term solutions, offering alternative software/hardware solutions, etc... it all depends on the company... i do development aswell for example

sweet. I duno if i'd last in that kind of job I can be really fickle. I might check out some of the jobs u listed before. The college route might not be for me afterall

But again, thats just the tech support side, very general and broadbased

Well i'm off to the beach now. Have fun at work if thats where u are, I've seen more boring workstations than yours

i'm watching scantily clad students wandering around

and u get payed for that. Hmm I might reconsider my career path then

im not sure wot i want to do :think:

i did english lit, psychology, sociology and business studies at A level and i enjoyed doing business studies the most, particularly marketing so choose to do marketing management at uni

and im now on placement and go back to uni in sept to do my final yr but i dont even think i want to do this when i leave but i havnt got a clue wot i do want to do

so god knows

Im hoping i get promoted to the "Fish Counter" @ Asda

My mate did that in Morrisons... needless to say 1) he stunk on nights out straight after work 2) to this day, 10 years later, he gets the piss taken

take note

I actually dont want to

I was merely "having a giraffe"

"i kinda guessed"

but it was a good que for my rather short "fishy dave" story

I'm a senior network administrator its not gash

one of my mates at uni was from grimsby and she used to work in a fish factory in the holidays

I currently work for the government

Bin man ?

I cmae out of school with 13 GCSE's A8-B with my Maths taken a year early, decided to stay on at school and got 3 A-Levels in French German and Maths BBC which was quite shit compared to how well I did in GCSE's.

Went to UMIST Uni to do International Management with German, when I got there the course was total wank with the Management being run by UMIST and the German by Manchester Uni so there was no communication between the 2 and the german was like going back to GCSE. I put up a big fuss to change to normal management but because my course only needed BBC and straight management needed AAB I had to put up a fight but loads of people wanted to change so eventually they've discontinued the course cos it was so shit!

So I done a year of IMG, then a year of straight management and in my final year I specialised in Accounting and Finance cos I thought there was a lot of money in it. I just graduated today with a 2:2 cos I didn't actually put any effort into my course at all cos it wasn't really what I wanted to do but I just stuck it out to get a degree.

Have got a job as a mortgage advisor starting on 1st August so hopefully it will be good stuff but it's not what I had envisaged for myself tbh and still don't really know what I'd ideally like to do
