# decisions, decisions
i cannot decide on this, so i am going to leave it to the board to decide.

i be 15 and my last exam is on tuesday. after that i wanna find a job so i can stop always being skint.

here is the decision:

do i go and look for a normal shop job

OR

do i apply for a job as a hospital porter? it would be more interesting and the money is a lot better (£6.75 an hour)

edit: i didn't mean a permanant job, but saturday/holiday one, and i've always been unemployed before. and i'm going back to school anyway

# go for the porter
I worked as a porter for a while, the amputated limbs freezer is a good laugh.

..and the drugs, oh! the drugs

# get more education.
if you heed those three words, you won't be what I am.
Underqualified
Unemployable
Unloved

You are at the turning point in your life, if you crave beer money now, rather than further education, you will have no beer money in the future.

# Well in that case

# sorry!
Work in a shop,
It'll look good on a CV later on (customer relations, retail knowledge etc etc)
More young ladies go shopping than men
Free/cheap stuff
More breaks

# you know, this is just my opinion
(and therefore worth very little) but I think Hospital Porter would look, if anything, better on your CV.
1. it's more unusual - ie. more initiative on your part in looking for work.
2. employers these days like to see a bit of "community minded" stuff on there.
3. shop work will bore you senseless, and it'll be easier to get if you move around the country.

# Follow this advice
This is the truth. It is very wise. I stuck with further and higher education and is looking at a job for £18k next year. Lots of beer money.

# Shop job
Better experience. get customer service under your belt and all that... or go back to school?
