Attempt to find a job I suppose.
Couldn't feel more different to my graduation last year. Last year was happiness, pride and hope. This year as I walked along in the procession listening to those around me talking about their jobs at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte and Deutsche Bank all I could feel was ashamed with myself for collecting a first class honours degree but not being good enough to get a job. Would have been happy enough to have it sent in the post but my parents wanted to do all the procession and ceremony and photos again so I did it for them.
Ah, parents can be a demanding lot! Don't feel ashamed - it just wasn't meant to be and I'm sure the right job will come along! I thought I was quite happy working in the office at the resthome in Cambridge, but here I am, 12 months later and had 2 jobs! You just might win the lottery tonight (with me of course) and not even have to worry about it!  |

A big win in Vegas in a couple of weeks will do nicely!

One months pay with tax and severage pay of one months income no tax which is really good, concidering I've been there less than two years and not entitled to anything.

Amy, considering the current climate, it might be an idea to go to Uni and then when you are finished the job market will be back to normal.
