Allright then, Man the Fuck Up
you made a bad decision based on hope rather than getting something concrete. If it's that bad either move back to London, or find a job in Brighton. Or Hove actually.

well, that's the end game yes
but unless i get monumentally lucky, which i already maxed out my allowance of this lifetime, i need another year's experience and more MINIMUM unless i want to work in prontaprint for £15k making fuckin takeaway leaflets and living off beans on toast. this job is good, and i need to work here for a while longer before i'm starting to thimnk about middleweight positions.. there's too much competition for the junior stuff there, i'm too expensive, they could get some student for about ten grand less.. sure i got a good skill set etc, but without the experience, no one wants to know. and FUCK office work.

Not just now, no
They didn't take on any of the 3, and laid off 600 folk. Then the other job up north didn't want me either. I am becoming poorer and more irritable with each passing day.

Makes shit choices apparently.

multimedia design & Photography
and making shit choices, apparently

incidentally, how does staying with someone you love and supporting them equal a shit choice?

because you let her get her own way.
It's a slippery slope.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 15:22, Reply)

because she ASKED me..
...if she should a: take an amazing job she never thought she'd get and had been hoping for for maybe five years
or b: keep looking for a job in london (which i hate) (which although she never said it, i know for a fact would entail her going out alone to some of the worst, most deprived and dangerous areas of london to try and provide care to people who often don't want it, or whose families don't want them to have it.. which is not cool)

and she asked me which i wanted.

Not being funny or nothing....
.... but how can you complain against a teenager taking shit wage 'cus of lack of experiance, when you don't have the experiance yourself and are demanding a hell of a lot more cash?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 16:07, Reply)

this is true usually
however, if you start in the middle struggling like a bastard, it's reasonable to expect to go across, or up, rather than down. plus, when you're on a certain wage amnd you have things like rent, bills, travel, and a girl to think about, it's no small thing to take a massive hit in your wage.
(UppityDamnPrimate LET'S OPEN THIS F*CKING PIT UP, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 16:36, Reply)

you misunderstand me
more power to the student taking a shit wage. i'm not saying i don't have the experience for his job. i'm saying i don't currently have the experience, even really for mine, the one i do now. and to get a job like that again, i need more to rely on than blind luck, this one i got headhunted by the MD while working in a shitty job, and kinda came in, hit the ground running, and worked my bollocks off. that's all well and good, it means i ain't getting fired for SHIT here, they are pleased with me, however, this doesn't count for SHIT on paper, if they've got a dude with a nice folio and five years experience, versus a dude with a nice folio and one and a bit years experience, guess who's getting the interview? i'd like to have confidence to go for the bigger jobs, but i'm also realistic, and with the number of cv's flooding in, they filter by experience and qualifications before they even look at your work. sad but true, as anyone who's looking right now, or has seen an ad posted on gumtree get 400 odd views in it's first day.

Ahh, I see what you mean.
It's a shitty thing to happen, expecting something that doesn't come through, but look at it like this; it's only one day different from what you were expecting anyway, and it'll just be for a year or soo while you build yourself up; which when you consider it's a life-plan (moving in with someone you're gonna marry), it's not the end of the world.

I know what you mean about having bills that you need to be sorted with but there are two incomes and you should be cool with that; people in the area survive with worst.
