Learn from the mistakes of others

i volunteer all over the place. not doing much to help me. and a few employers have commented on my "other commitments" ...

universities were not about job preparation. even in the professions. that was what happened on the job. unis were about acquiring the appropriate body of knowledge - and most importantly, the attitudes, for the intended profession.

our glorious leaders™ want to get rid of 'useless' stuff like literature and so forth. they really only want commercial training houses, paid for by the fourtunate students. they are all about shifting the burden of being 'job ready' onto the worker, so the owner of the 'capital' can maximise their profits without having to 'invest' in the tools - at least the tools they can't trade off in tax.

i've been close to public service jobs. but they always find an excuse not to hire me.

my education is an example of "sticking-to-it" ... but i know what you mean. i just lost an opportunity because the employer decided that if no one else though i was worth keeping, they wern't going to be the ones to risk it.


so, i'm back to working for myself.

just need to find a client or two. who can pay.


i'm also working on formalising my networking strategy.




if conveyancing was open to me, i'd be doing it. i'm that desperate (besides, it pays stupidly wee for what you do)
