No one is up their own arse. The people providing the opinions you don't like are just all older and wiser, and giving advice from their own personal experiences. That is essentially what you asked for so don't be upset if they are not what you want to hear.Some of the people in this thread are so up their own arses it's amazing.
Black. Ghost.
I think you're first statement is incredibly rude. I don't need a 'reality check'. Its clear to me that a fair few people in this thread are just repeating what others have said earlier on, just re-phrasing them. I think you first need to apologise to Craig. Think of me as you wish, but this thread was me asking about some re-assurance about my future. Not for you to have a dig at Craig.
Oh and for your information, I did that. Instead of having a week off for half term, I asked Simon if i could do some work at Mini-Spares. I worked my arse of and thank fully he offered me a part time Job.
What I'm doing now has nothing to do with it however, I'm beginning to loose enjoyment in my college course, mainly due to the fact that I'm now doing a level 2 course in something silly like 8 weeks and its stressing me out, to the extent where, I'm not enjoying it, That has made me think, once I've done all this studying. Will i enjoy it afterwards.
Secondly, I don't think its rude at all, and I'm not apologising to anyone. I fully understand why Craig left, and if you read any of my posts in his thread you would see that in the main I agree with what he did. There is no reason for anyone to be treated like ****. But there is a difference between doing the dull rubbish jobs than being treated like ****. You both give the slight impression of wanting to jump in higher than the bottom rung because its not entirely what you want. Life just does not work like that at all. Only a lucky few get to be in that position, and they generally come from money. Its the way of the World.
Even if you are losing interest, its worth sticking with. If you can take what you have learnt so far, and switch modules or something and take it in a different direction, then that might be something to consider. Jacking it all in now, in my opinion is not the best idea. It shows to future employers that you don't/can't/won't stick with something when it gets tough/boring. Every job has **** days and employers don't want someone who will be there a year, and then leave because they get bored. Not in the long term anyway. Occasionally, they may need someone just for short periods but especially when training is involved, it costs the company money. You become an investment for them.
Doing the work experience is a good thing, but you never mentioned any of that, and the work experience thing was merely advice not having a go at you. Keep going along that line - but think of all the jobs you might want to do, and find companies you can do that with and see what you like best. At the moment, you are still young enough that you could change direction quite easily with no detrimental effects. But stay studying something, or get on an apprentice ship or something. Something that shows commitment.
Even Richard Branson started by selling CDs in a phone box. And now look at him.He is the owner of one very famous brand and is looking to launch a business offering space flights. Not bad when you put your mind to something.
if you think people are repeating what others are saying, maybe its because they all have the same opinion on it, having been through it themselves?
If you don't want honest opinions, don't ask questions on a public forum.
