Getting Sorted

Well, I am looking into jobs and my chosen career, in counselling, could be problematic. Not that I am not capable, I am more than able to do the job for the sake of a degree or two. My issue is that there don't seem to be many employment chances in it. Not a lot of point doing a few years uni and then be out of work for ages or doing a job I could have got without the degree. As for that, it means a degree course to get me on yet another degree course which, I have to say, doesn't really appeal as it means at least 4 years plus quite some time work experience all for what may amount to no career. So, sad as it is, I think I will need to go down the IT route which I am also capable of and happens to pay as much if not more than the counselling would do.

I could still benefit from going to college and getting some certificates behind me but after that it is just a case of finding a job. Once the kids have all left home I could, in theory, live just about anywhere in the country where there was a job so maybe that is the way to go.

I have been doing some writing again, this time on a project inspired by the 10CC song, 'I'm not in love' which I heard on the way to visit Jermaine a few weeks ago.

I know I have been very slow to develop and complete 'Be careful what you wish for' but it is a project in hand and I am developing ideas for it all the time.

Beforehand we went to the Meadowhall Shopping Centre for lunch and to kill some time. Probably spent too much money, a recurring theme of recent months. A lovely day albeit for a challenging return journey when the M1 was closed.   Now, what did we do on March 18th? Hmmm .... Ah yes, we got married! Link here to Pictures It took several weeks of planning calling in every favour we could, saving money where ever possible. I often think these cheaper weddings are the best. I think it's unlikely even with all the essential costs for the cere...
