Young Blood is home and bemoaning her lack of job satisfaction as a retail management trainee. To be fair, half the problem is that she was working as a checkout supervisor at weekends before she went to Uni, carried on in the same role for the last three years...and which section did they put her on when she started her training..? You guessed it! She's taken the obvious route and tried a couple of conversations about moving to a new department but to no avail.So...she's bored rigid at work, earning diddly squat, living in a nice enough flat, but rough area of the City, wondering what she's doing with her life and the point of spending three years studying for a degree. Having spent a couple of days at home being fed & looked after the prospect of returning to reality has really hit her. She even started talking about moving back home!
Panda, Young Blood and I had a natter about what she could do if her Masters application is unsuccessful and have spent most of this evening searching job sites and applying for work in the charity sector which is where she wants to be.... until then she's stuck in a supermarket :o/ Much as I keep trying to tell her that retail's a good grounding for anything as you gain an appreciation of business, customer service and dealing with both staff and the general public... I'm not sure she's convinced....
Got to keep everything crossed something better materialises for both of us.
