    Yeah, something public sector would interest me too, after I've completed my sojourn... Probably civil service, but God knows what I'll wanna do in a year's time. I don't particularly want to live in this country, so... I'll have to see what opportunities there are elsewhere, to see if living (and working) abroad is a viable option.

    I'm only 21 tho, so there's no rush or anythin'.

    Postgrad, then eventually more academic type stuff/ civil service. I only really like history, which doesnt make me very employable :rolleyes:

    Ditto.

    @Grimes: Whatever really. I mean, I'm gonna be working in the Plan UK offices in Camden for 6 months, and while I'm there I'll be going through the (many) volunteer organisations there are that are particularly desperate. Cos let's face it, they'd have to be desperate to accept me as a recruit!:D I've already given em my CV so it's in the pipeline, it's just a question of ppl getting back to me over the next few months.

    Unfortunately, I'm still a long way from finishing college... I've no idea what I want to do when I finish. You'd think 4 years here already would give me a notion of what I want to do, but no. All I know at this stage is that it'll involve computers, I don't know beyond that.

    That sounds interesting. What are they like to work for? Do you have real responsibility for them in regards the marketing aspect of things? I hope you don't mind me asking.

    *If* I ever get a degree out of this place I would like to end up in something along the lines of urban planning or doing environmental work. However I'm thinking about quitting college (yes again! :) ) and with my experience of working in an office environment this year that's where I could see myself ending up for the next few years anyway.
