I finished my degree a couple of years ago and got a job, a job that was never really supposed to be a long term thing, it was more of a good place to be whilst I learnt my trade and decided what I wanted to do a bit more long term. Well I'm still here, and I'm bored and feel a bit stuck. A few months ago the company I work for got bought out by a big American firm and in that process I lost a fair amount of my responsibility and my identity within the company. Now obviously right now isn't the best time to be making any major job decisions, what with all of the redundancies etc, but I can still plan and research for when things settle down. I did a degree in Computer Science, and have a job in a support role, hardly what my degree was designed for, in fact, no one I work with has a degree, and without trying to sound big headed, I feel over qualified, especially now that I have almost no responsibility. The problem is that I feel my talents are wasted here, but I don't have anything to offer a new employer, I can't get training here to boost my CV but I can't imagine someone who offers any kind of training would be interested in taking me on with my current CV. Hence the reason I feel 'stuck'. So the point of my thread is, what should I do? Where can I get advise from, and how do I get it? Are there good websites for finding specific types of jobs? Anybody else like this or been like this in the past?

Aimless, first off, fix your avatar, cos it rocks and it makes my day Second, without going through all your posts I don't know if it is only your job you have lost or if there is something else making you feel crap, but you could always take this chapter in your life to do something totally new and positive? For example, if I loose my job I already have my plan, I'm going to sell everything I own and travel the world on my motorbike. I wont have much money and I don't have a route planned or anything, but that's the point. I'll just pack and go. I'm not suggesting this is what you should do, but perhaps this is a blessing in disguise?

This post is pretty much what I was going to say too, the only thing I would say with BT is never expect any helpful support. Generally nothing goes wrong but if it does (assuming its your computer/router and not the 'service') BT are COMPLETELY USELESS. So you might need to post in here if you need help

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that!

I might give this a go.....you going to be sending it to Radio 1?

What I love is that youi say the numbers anf they know exactly what you want, ewven tho there is normally like 100+ things!

I just got back from the puib! More importantly, recently found the ignore user thing, so awesome!¬

I love oyu! Where did you come from? Your funny! Japn

THIS thread is so funny whanyou drunk! New year to everyone! and the simpsones!

I can't believe anyone thought it was white. Even when not being compared to something that is white, it is still quite clearly grey.

Truestori! I've really only played this and I have 5 Wii games now, picked up MP3, Nights, and BW2 in the sales, but can't stop playing Mario Kart!

I'm having trouble finding the DS game that was talked about on the first page of this thread....the only game I can find comes out early next year here in the UK?

I love how Clarkson just throws the bike down every time he gets off it, so funny!

Where was BW2 for that price? EDIT - Found it I just got Nights for Wii for £9.98 and Metroid Prime 3 for £14.99, with £5 on my reward card total price, £20, nice!

Awesome, more must buys than I thought! Best get saving, been playing Mario Kart tonight, I love it so much, almost as good as the N64 version and so much better than the GC version! But N64 rainbow road should have been in there!

I have one of these, so sexy!

I got a Wii yesterday at last woo! I got with my Christmas vouchers and also got myself a component cable and classic controller. My family got me Mario kart and Mario galaxy for chrimbo and I used the stars I had reserved to buy some points and got DKC for the VC. Have to say I have been looking forward to this for getting on 2 years and I'm loving the 2 Mario games I have, they really are amazing!

Yeah that really annoys me, it should be possible either through the dashboard of via xbox.com tbh! I have no one from N-E on my friends list, I should probably go through and add some of you none of my irl friends play online

Ok awesome! Not sure why I couldn't find that myself lol.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there a way of removing games from you achievements list if they are arcade demo's that you haven't purchased?

Love this theme! Good job

Here is my steed: In the background you can just make out my car, it isn't exciting (a Clio if you can't tell). I'm currently thinking about getting a Corrado VR6 next year if I can get the insurance for a good price.

I know exactly what you're talking about! I've noticed exactly the same thing, tell me do you have Fable 2? I get it on my TV really badly around the edge of my character when he moves, is that what you're talking about?
