    Well What Should I Do With My Life?

    Another interview, another rejection. A job I was really after and I thought I had a good chance of getting gone. There seems to be very little around that seems suitable for my background. Those which may be appropriate seem to go to someone else who seems to be better than me.

    So what should I do? I feel like my life is heading nowhere, apart from down the toilet. Any ideas?

        Forgive my ignorance--what is your age, education background, etc.?

        Is there anything beyond the scope of your studies you've been interested in doing?

        I'm also trying to figure out what to do with my life...and I'm 25...

              Too late for that.

                  Move somewhere with more people, that way your opportunities increase. Or were you applying for jobs in Manchester already?

                    Yeah, I was applying for jobs in other areas so that isn't the problem; I want to get out of Hull anyway.

                    DD, well, things just didn't work out. The facilities were crap and I decided to leave, and the supervision wasn't much cop either, and I just felt that I was going nowhere. That is why I left. I want to move forwards, not backwards.

                        You've got plenty of time. Be young and enjoy yourself. Don't stress over the job thing. Ever traveled abroad?

                        You might want to explore opportunities in other regions/countries. The USA might be a better shot, as the economy is rebounding here strongly. Not that it would be easy to go to a whole new country.

                          Looks like the path i took. Decided that finishing the degree wasn't worth the hassle.

                          Believe me : it is worth it. Yu can take my word for it or do like i did and find out 10 years from now.

                          You think you know better and that it's just a waste of time.

                          I would tell you that finishing your degree will not only open up a lot of doors because you'll have the paper: not finishing sends a very bad signal when you're looking for a job.
                          Half a degree is worse than no degree at all sometimes.

                            A friend of mine was doing a biochem PhD and dropped out of it. He never mentioned that he was doing it when he went for interviews etc. 'cause it would look bad.

                              The problem is Mike, accounting for the past 2 years otherwise
