My current job doesn't pay well and I am looking for something that pays a bit better, but will get me good experience. maybe admin... Short term.
I have chosen this, as I plan to do an Ma in a few years time. When I get a job that gets me in earlier, I'd also like to hook up with a teacher and start learning French. In fact, there is tons to do...
Thing is, I am thinking short term and everywhere seems to be thinking long term. I am looking at admin jobs, as I think the office experience would be valuable.
I'd like to work one day in the not for profit sector, either co-ordinating campaigns, managing projects or doing advocacy work (very broad I know).
Thing is, already there seems a lot of pressure to jump in to a career. I don't want to... I'd like to work abroad a few years, but have no idea how.
TEFL has been suggested, though are there many other routes to work abroad?
I think the experience would be good and there's a possibility I could find a base, or an NGO which cpuld connect to my dissertation.
I am bored shitless... I just don't wanna keep choosing between rent and dental treatment, if that makes sense. Be able to chill for a year or two and eventually get somewhere... Does that make sense?
There are so many options, so much pressure to do well and everything seems so poorly paid. :rolleyes:
Sorry... rant over.

You been to university??

What are you wanting to do an MA in? Presumably you'll need to save up for that while working?
