So what jobs and careers does everyone plan to go into once they finish training/education? If you're already in a long term job is that the one you planned to go into or do you think you'll change in the future?
My plan's to go into Journalism after doing a post grad course in it in a few years time. I quite like the idea of foreign correspondence but I'd only be able to do broadcast journalism if I toned down my regional accent a bit I think.

After Christmas I shall be looking for graduate work (something in education but not teaching) and then (hopefully) I shall do my PGCE from September
I came out of college and went straight into a job as an assistant Greenkeeper. I jacked that in after a couple of years because I fell out with my boss and I've had several jobs since.
I'm currently working as a telecoms engineer and I'll proabably try to stick this one out. It pays very well and I'm pretty much my own boss.
I chuffed I didn't go straight into a lifetime job after I left education, I didn't know what I wanted to do but I've had fun for a while and now it's time to get serious.
Am interested in things like welfare, politics, news papers... Maybe I'll work for the government or a charity.
I forsee that within a short time, I'll be trying to change my course to single honours English Language.
After I get my BA/MA (depending on whether or not I end up in Scotland) I'd like to think I'll do some kind of post grad course, but I might be sick of education by then.
When I'm done at uni, I think I'd like to do something in the media. But I think it's rather more likely I'll end up teaching something at some level or another.
I used to have a dead set plan until about a year ago, then it all fell apart and left me rather unsure. *shrug*
If all this fails - I can't say what i'll aim for.
