Right, I hate my job and want a change. I'm currently working as a Baker for Tescos on basic wage of £6.50 an hour. Don't exactly have any great experience; worked at Tescos since I was 16, I'm now 20. Got decent grades at AS and A-Level, did a year at Sheffield Hallam Uni studying English but didn't continue after my first year as after a lot of time and consideration I decided it wasn't for me as I couldn't see myself going anywhere with the degree after I'd completed it so it wasn't worth getting into massive debts. Any help would be muchly appreciated as I ain't got a scooby.

What do you enjoy? I think that's quite an important starting point. If you do something you enjoy, you'll always be enthusiastic about your work, which is a good trait.

I enjoy quite a varied range of things, music is possibly my biggest interest and hobby, love looking for and listening to all different types of music. It's the only real materialistic thing I have a great interest for. I like being active and on my feet.

I agree, enjoying your job is much more important (in the long term) than earning a lot of money.

Maybe try interning at some music mag/record company,etc ? Starting a music blog could be a starting point, just going to gigs and reviewing new bands albums or gigs for writing practice if you want to get into journalism..

I didn't think so - deceptral has a degree too. Interns at our place get paid, and I've been paid for every internship I've ever done.

internships at "proper" companies = paid

internships at fashion magazines = no pay and piss-taking levels of advantage-taking

I think it's the bumrape option that Deceptral is going for

not always though, there are special cases Eye-wink

sep - are you not getting a penny? you might be able to get JSA or whatever it's called these days if you class the internship as voluntary work.

will you have a part-time job as well? i know that sounds harsh, but if you're not minted then sometimes evening and w/e work is the only way.

how long is the placement for?

I have got an interview for it next week, so I'll get all the info then, I think it is for two months and i am 100% sure it is unpaid

i'm gonna have to pull in favours with all my mates who live in the LDN i think for somewhere to crash, my auntie has a lesbian freind i could probably stay with as well.

I am at work now, I work in I.T sales for a small company and damn recession is hitting us a little.
It has been quite slow so I spend my time on FUK more Smiling but if I get caught, I don't think the consequences will be too good.

I've applied to so many graduate schemes and none are paid Sad

with any luck i won't get on this one, cos if i do then theres no way i'd turn it down, and then get on the M&C saatchi one which starts next summer, so that way i have time to save up some money working droid labour for it.
