Race to the Top Education

[Shawnee123]

sky, I may have said this before (and I'm reminded because we've talked about office jobs before) but I took a bottom of the barrel front-line entry-level 7 buck and fifty an hour job in my current field...some ten years ago, having never done anything quite like it before. So many of the skills I have now I learned on the job, and the opportunities to move up have been great.

If you find a place you'd like to work, get your foot in the door...you never know where it could take you. (And I'm biased but higher education is a great field with a lot of administrative opportunities.)

I'm not working in higher education, but have followed the grunt path (volunteering in my case) to get a job I know I'll love.
Shame that it's not all that well paid, but at least I know I won't be tempted to drink at work or sit and surf the web (literally all day sometimes) like I have in previous roles.

Now I just need to get my bloody CRB through!
I swaer, no cheque has ever been as eagerly anticipated as this stupid piece of paper.
