[Pit-Jr]

When i was little, i wanted to be the Prez. I still think i could do a better job than this other clown

 

Ive had 3 jobs total

After school counselor-horrible pay, but getting payed to play dodgeball with 8 year olds was pretty cool

 

Lifeguard equally horrible pay but the actual job was a blast

 

Box Printing Machine Operator Guy

Its every bit as boring and dirty as it sounds. The pay is great but not something i wanna do forever.

[Noodleman]

5. ) Future Plans regarding work/studies

To get onto a clinical psychology course i'll ideally need to find a job position as an assistant psychologist for 2 years. However, depending how things go for me here in England i'd like to go to Japan, either teaching english to japanese students, or ideally on a psychology scholarship (which would count towards getting on a clinical psychology course in the future).

[Hellfire]

1.) When you were little what job did you want when you grew up?

Fireman, of course!

Computer engineer, or whatever you english types call it

I'm studying Computer engineering or something like that.

[Rummy]

1.) When you were little what job did you want when you grew up?

 

I remember I used to say alot that I wanted to be a 'reporter'. Which in theory would translate to a journalist, think I just wanted to be one of them people who read the news and stuff, the sort of people you see doing those things, like the ones who ask questions and take notes and conferences. I can't help but think I was influenced by the fact I knew spiderman worked for a newspaper.

 

2.) What job did you want to do when you left school (or currently persueing)

 

Well, I used to love computers and would have liked to do something with them. However, ICT really put me off, as there were little computers involved, and pretty much all I could do computer related. I did it at a-level, sucked, the teacher sucked, and it all sucked. I did physics too, and maths, both of which I liked alot and wouldn't have minded a job involving, but they just got too hard and I doubted I would be able to handle it. I settled for Psychology, which I only first dabbled with as an AS at the same time.

 

3.) What course did you do/are planning to do after school?

 

BSc Psychology :P I like the theory alot, but too much writing for me. I'm more of a numbers man(^maths and physics^) and psychology doesn't have enough like that apart from sadistic statistics.

 

4. ) What job you got now?

Working for Oxleas NHS as an Healthcare Assistant. Not bad for a job which needs no qualificiations. Oxleas are a pscyhiatric healthcare trust in the south east, thus I work in psychiatric healthcare. I can work anywhere in oxleas, but only seem to get work on a ward in queen mary's hospital(my mum works there, it helps ). I enjoy the job though, much better than expected. Work isn't guaranteed though, due to the nature of how I am employed.

 

5. ) Future Plans regarding work/studies

After I get my BSc Psychology degree? Who knows. I would like to go into clinical psychology(psychiatric healthcare basically), but it takes alot more studying and is very competative. I'll take a year out after my bachelors, do some travelling and relax, then look at my options. Psychology is broad, and I could go into any number of things. Dunno whether I'll study further and specialise, or look for a job straightaway that I can get with a Bachelors.

5. ) Future Plans regarding work/studies

Feel like giving up studies as its shit and boring, but easy. So I probably won't, I'll just do what I don't want to do because I have to do it for the next two and a half years. Thats life. Dunno about future jobs. Porn star?

I just remembered, at one point, I wanted to be an actor too. It fleetingly crossed my mind during GCSEs too, so I took a drama GCSE. GCSEs were probably the best two years of my life.
