Because of where I am, I will need to move about 200 miles away from my family, friends & girlfriend to go to a college or UNI that does the course I want.

Which course do you want?

Well done man, I know you've been feeling shitty lately, hope things improve for you

My job>yours...

I get paid £60 an hour to play piano at concerts..best part is, my set usually only takes 5 minutes but I have to stick around until the end in case they need fill ins.

Only happens 3-4 times a month though..

my job > yours.

I don't have to play piano.

It's a hobby, a passion, a way of proving my awesomeness..I get paid to do what I enjoy=>owns tbh

Confuscious Say "Pick a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life"

That's why I'm going to become a P.E teacher.

Computer Engineering.

Thanks for your kind words guys.

And Elite I will gain probs nothing except a good reference for my CV to get rid of the bad one from BT (where I got fired)

everyones job > mine, Saturdays only (as I apparently get back from 6th form too late (5:30 at latest) to work during the week, so I can only get 6 and a half hours a week (two shifts). At minimum wage £3.50 for a 16yr old, boring work where you occasionally get burnt from the guys working behind the frier pushing chips straight from the frier at you (if you're waiting for chips). Oh and when I get home I reek of chip fat and feel greasy.

Only decent thing about it is that I get half priced fish and chips when on shift.

I need a new job, sadly they're in short supply round here.

Maybe so but I'd to be able to look back and laugh with a bit more cash in my back pocket.

Ahh yea, a stepping stone kind of thing towards your future career ok then fuck what i said mate...go get em!!!!

Cheers man.

The manager there has only been there 3 years. She started 8 hours a week just to get beer money. So very easy to progress. So I'll need to watch I don't get sucked in.

Gotta fight through the shit to get to the cream as my dad says.

wtf has your dad been eating!

But congrats man. Pretty good hourly rate there, i remember when I started a job when I was 17 and was only getting about £3.40 an hour!

It's heartwarming to see them grow up, isn't it? Aww.

One of my first jobs was shovelling human faeces ( seriously). I worked at a massive worm farm as a labourer and that was what the worms ate. It was treated sewerage, so it didnt look like turds or cigars or anything. Turned out it was a great job. You have to do the shit jobs (hah) when you are young. Just make the most of it and keep studying.
Congrats.

I was born to do this and have officially been doing it for 17 years, unofficially 20-22 years.  We have been in business since 1900 but were Established in 1912.  I was on £10 a day for the first year and it has taken me 17 years to get to the stage of being able to afford a mortgage and a car.  That dosen't mean I'm minted but it was only when I became a director that I started paying people a fair wage along with myself.

The way I see employment/work is this.  Money comes first.... However, I work 5 days a week, 9-5 (40 hours) 47 weeks a year (without being on the sick, 1-2 weeks on average) thats now 45 weeks a year.  47 (hours) x 45 (weeks) = 2115 Hours a year (approx).  I started at 16, will finish when I'm 65 (on saying that my Dad is 76 and still working full time for us, my Grandad was the same, he got to 82 I think) Thats 59 years in total x 2115 Hours, thats 124,785 Hours of your life.  Ignore the calculation and common sense will tell you that you work for approx 2/3rds of your living life.  You only get one life, you MUST make the most of it.

If you don't have the financial committments of others for eg, Wife, Kids, Car, House etc etc and find yourself unhappy in your work regardless of how much you take home, switch jobs, start looking straight away.  Don't kid yourself with "Oh I'll stop this and do that" as it won't happen, a bit like a 16 year old who starts smoking and kids him/herself with "Ohh I like this cos my mates smoke but I'll stop in 4 years time" by then your hooked.

I got guys here who have been with us for 40 years already, poor bastards got another 15/20 to go, and its not even prison.  There on shit pay, we as a company don't swallow the profit from their labour  up so why they with us?  They love working for us, they get great satisfaction from their work.  They come here in the morning every day stuck in their routine Happy, they remain happy most of the time here and then leave in the evening happy.  When they go home to the important part of their life (their commitments) they remain happy and thats what is most important HAPPYNESS.  Trust me, it's something that money does not guarantee, but can help bring happyness; I appriciate that.

You can tell what I'm trying to say but without sounding like "Ol 27" a lot of the people here were being made by their parents as I started working here so I really do know what I'm on about.  Work out what is most important to you at the age/stage of your life and make your career decision based on that. There is no golden rule because we are all differnet with different circumstances but the following remains the same YOU GET ONE LIFE AND MUST BE HAPPY IN IT, if you get good money aswell, well thats a bonus.
