    What Should I Do?

    Well I'm almost two-thirds of my way through a Bsc Economics degree at Aberystwyth.

    I love the town but it is small, and the chances of earning over even £10k are minimal unless I have a good understanding of Welsh. Which I haven't got.

    I've heard the demand for economics degrees is greater in the States and I would earn a far greater salary but I doubt I'll go there. I don't think I'll go the Masters route either.

    I can't see myself living in London or any other large urban area...

    I know what I don't want to do but I've not yet seen something that really appeals.

    Recommendations?

    I didn't think the boyos could discriminate if you couldn't speak welsh
    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

      It's Wales, The Stinger.

      It's like saying the French couldn't discriminate if you can't speak French.

        No only a minority speak welsh, so it seems a bit harsh if you can't get a job without it.

          you're having a laugh right, no bugger in wales actually speaks welsh.

          what sort of job/career do you want?

            Not many jobs for economists with no higher degree.

              If you go to the US you should be full of self-loathing. There is nothing worse than economic migrants stealing local jobs.

                Not many jobs for economists outside cities I would think either? Start your own business.

                  Most advertisements in the Cambrian News for anything about Clerical Assistance, TheStinger, require either a knowledge of Welsh, or a good understanding of it. I know at least eight Welsh speakers.

                  That's the thing Cockney; I've not actually heard about something that I want to do!

                      That's a possibility but I'd need capital.

                        You'll be exempt form some accountancy modules if you chose that option

                            A good freind of mine is rampantly welsh, he can only swear in the language.
