Need a job if I'm staying.

Do you have any actual qualifications?

[smallgayjew]

I've a first in history and literature from Oxford and retail experience.

[hired_for_m]

What are you looking to do? Research or more retail?

[smallgayjew]

I've got a job in retail now. I'd rather not continue it.

[He has to make a slightly amused snerk at that.]

"Be glad you have a job at all. The economy is shitty enough that you're lucky you aren't making coffee at Starbucks."

[smallgayjew]

[rolls his eyes]

The shitty economy is not a reason for me to accept being stuck in a shitty job forever. My life doesn't stop because you Americans can't control your corporations.

[hired_for_m]

Actually it is, and for that matter... whoever said I was American?

[smallgayjew]

No, it really isn't. And you've certainly got the arrogance for it.

[hired_for_m]

mmm. Good Luck getting out of Retail then.

[bit_awkward]

I'd offer you a job but I'm fairly certain from what you said earlier it'd be a pretty lateral move.

Have you looked into interning?

[smallgayjew]

Generally speaking, internships don't pay.

[bit_awkward]

Well no but you usually can have a job on the side. It's rough for a bit but when all is said and done you'll be one step closer!

[smallgayjew]

Closer to what? I don't know what I want to do.

[bit_awkward]

Well, I guess that should probably be your first step!

[smallgayjew]

I'd thought about doing a teaching course.
