hi 
to get the conversation going I’m  interested to hear what people here are studying/working in? if you are not yet out of school what do you think you might do? 

[Kit]

Great q! I’m dabbling in the marketing space but have also dabbled in photography and travel… so I guess I’ll come up with something eventually!

What are you studying @jackh? Or what are you looking to do in your career? I know someone whose goal is just retirement lol

[jackh]

Haha yeah I like that goal @Kit I’m studying primary teaching, I’m about to finish my degree. And I’m working at a cafe, which is really nice, I enjoy it.

That’s awesome @jackh, how do you manage work and study?
I’m studying a degree in social work and am in my 3rd year, with one more to go. I also have two part time jobs. I enjoy it all but it can be very stressful at times.

[jackh]

@mak_trouble891 it can be crazy! I have constant reminders and alarms on my phone. I have almost made it to the end of my course – not long to go now.

Working on Play Safe and chatting to all you awesome people IS my job – how lucky am I? B)

[jackh]

That sounds really cool! @ElleBelle

In case anyone is feeling worked up about not knowing what they want to do with their lives… I’m just gonna quote some lyrics from the Sunscreen Song:

The most interesting people
I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t

I work in communications for a rare disease charity. 🙂

[jackh]

awesome @Aunt_Flo i cant wait to finish my course and get out there

[Aunt_Flo]

Thanks! Work has got it pro’s and con’s. Enjoy uni while it lasts – I certainly miss it! But I do like working as well. 🙂

[jackh]

I’m working too and gee its hard, but once I finish my degree at least i’ll only be doing one thing instead of both i’ve enjoyed my placements so it will be good to get started @Aunt_Flo

[Aunt_Flo]

That’s great @jackh! Good to know that you enjoy it before actually starting. 🙂

[Kit]

Primary teaching must be so hard @jackh! I would not have the tolerance for that!

[jackh]

really @Kit I must admit my first few days of my first placement drove me mad, and i questioned if i should be in it haha but I do love it
