I do have a female friend who is an escort. You wouldn't believe the amount of money she earns. Can easily pull £1000 a week TAX FREE without even trying.

Not to everyones cup of tea, I'll admit. She is a bit of a Nympho, and truely loves what she does. She works her own hours/days as she pleases. Yes some of the stories she tell me are something else (funny & a bit scary) but she works via a agency & works independently.

And like I say, she earns a fooking mint.
I don't think the other half would go for that career path somehow and it's not really my cup of tea. Besides, I'm not fit enough for that job. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Send me a pic, and I'll tell you if you'd make it or not.

I can think of some awful jobs but having to be bored to death and leered over by strange men in exchange for money is certainly up there in the top three things I'd like to do LEAST Fair play to those who make a good living from it but you'd have to have a strong stomach and a high boredom threshold

Think the strangest thing I every saw was I was out with her and a few mates up in Newcastle for the night, and she was meeting up with some of the girls from here agency. Anyway some of the girls have boyfriend/husbands etc and just do the job as they basically are Nympho's and need sex all day

Any how. As the night progressed, one of the girls who was with her husband (nice chap actually) started getting chatted up by this guy. Next thing I know, the guy is leading her off to the bogs for a bit of how's ya father, walking straight past her husband to get to the bogs. You could see her husband wasn't liking that much , and I just thought to myself, how could he stand by and let that happen. OK, when she goes to work, he knows what she's doing, but after work.......... it should be him only.

Weird

Lisa, Agony Aunt

Get in touch with one of the papers

Seriously, have a look at some of the job sites for some inspiration and go for it. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Join the armed forces. They'll take anyone

Almost.

Funnily enough, I was filling in a Governnment security questionnaire for a job I'm applying for, most of it was tick boxes - yes or no. One question basically asked "Are you a terrorist?"

You have. I have a degree, but to be honest, I think the only purpose it serves, is that it shows I can stick at something (not a job) for a few years, and that I was capable of learning, nothing particularly uncommon. I've probably forgotten half of what I studied by now anyway, so the degree is more or less useless.

Not that I'm one to be negative.

I went to get some info on a job today and ended up being interviewed there and then If I'd have known I'd have not gone in jeans

They seemed very impressed but I'm not that bothered about it as I'm still waiting for my start date for the job I really want. I also failed to mention that job too

I disagree completely. Many degrees are of questionable worth in the real world, but thats not the point. Youre a graduate and that opens many doors for you. You need to realise that, regain your confidence and then do whatever you like the look of...

Well I think I better pull my finger out then. I need to work out what I want to do, then just go for it. I've got to the point now, where very little is keeping me in my current job, so at least my will to get out there and make a change is getting stronger.

Hold on. Ive just realised/remembered that one of my closest friends AND my girlfriend both went to Sunderland University (where they both took a really useless Communication Studies degree)!

Fail Simon.

I'd managed to keep that quiet, at least on here until now.

I'll try and keep it hush hush in the real world.
