Work...

Gosh, I don't know what to do about my work!

I have now realised that the loathing I began to feel for my last job at Next before I moved was not so much to do with where I was, but more to do with the fact I am sick to the back teeth of retail! The monotony of it all and the fact that all the issues are the same no matter where you go and who you work for has finally driven me insane. I want out and I want out yesterday. (Note that although I am at a loggerhead with my job, it doesn't mean I don't enjoy the people I work with or the chance to work in such a prestigious store, but I've just had enough!)

However, this is the difficult part. Part of me wants to just hand in my notice and leave, but unfortunately that is a ridiculously bad idea in this current job climate! I could be unemployed for months and I cannot survive in London without money. Therefore I really do need to keep going in this job until something else comes up. However, working shift patterns and crazy hours in a store like mine just makes this nigh on impossible! Therefore I'm stuck in this horrific slog of trying to go to work with a spring in my step whilst desperately trying to find a new job. Woe!

Then the next issue that comes along is what job to go for? The current top contenders are:

• Fashion Buyer
• Magazine Journalist (Gay/Mens Mag)
• PR
• Set up own fashion business
• Town Planner

As you can see, all very varied and only one relating to my degree. This leaves me in a horrible mushy mess of what to apply for and focus on. I think this doesn't help make me love my job any more either and thus I'm in this mess of a world! Help me!!
