The Uni Study Thread Mark IV

I wish I was still a student. This job hunting thing is depressing me. Too qualified for Minimum wage jobs. Underqualified for grad jobs.

I've been living at home during my Bachelors. Planning on moving out if I do a Masters.

I like being a student only because I can get loans. I'm finding looking for part time jobs so hard!

That's fair enough :smile:

I did really enjoy the experience of living away for my undergrad, so coming back home seems like a bit of an anticlimax, even though I love my family!

Yep, not having the loan anymore is sad. I've got some work for the summer which I'm starting later this week - I look forward to having some money...

Yeah i can't imagine living away and having to come back. So I decided to stay at home and save up so I can move out and not have to boomerang back home.

Is it a grad job? or summer job? I'm having a hard time finding work. I have a decent amount of money saved up but I really just want to work so I can stop feeling like I'm shut inside all day.

Ah that's fair enough :smile:

although I really enjoyed the time I had living away - I lived with some great people and we're talking about living together again in the future.
It's a summer job, mostly admin stuff, but there's a chance of being able to do it part time when I start my masters in September :smile:

and I know what you mean - I sat around and didn't do anything today, it would be good to do some work. Although once I'm working I'll probably wish I had more free time!

It must have been a fun three years. My degree sucked because I was constantly surrounded by my pushy parents.

That's a pretty cool job there. I'm trying to find something like that so I can go travelling for a while next year (need to earn enough) and start a Masters next year.

I don't care about not having more free time. I just want work. I might send out my CV to temp agencies after I get my degree results. I don't know if they'd take someone in without much experience though.

Ah that's a shame. Still, your uni experience isn't the be all and end all - there are lots of opportunities to have fun in life :smile:

Yep hopefully it'll be a good job, I got it by chance. I know what you mean about not knowing if people will take you without much experience though. Travelling and a masters sound like good plans :smile:

I have a friend who's doing some travelling this summer but I think she's concerned about money too.
