and what course?

I mean career/job wise....not travel etc...

You working casual jobs? why no jobs in your area? No luck at interviews?

Still no idea what you want to do?


Whats up?


Me: NO clue what I wanna do, nor much motivation to work tbh
 
Slept, drank, temp jobs, perm job. Took about 8 months from one end to the other. I knew what I wanted to do though.
 
Graduate in 2010 with a 2:1 in History, then went to the College of Law to do a Graduate Diploma in Law (Wanted to be a solicitor since before uni, but wanted a degree in something I really enjoy) and now have a "temp" job at a law firm, which I'm hoping to make permanent for a couple of years.

In between my degree and GDL I worked for free for two months at a law firm, and between the GDL and getting this temp job I had little motivation for anything apart from sleeping, gaming, films and beer.

I got a career job on my second interview.

If I were you I do a masters and try convert that sports science degree into somesort of biology/env science masters, basically anything that can get you a job.
 
I graduated with a 2:1 in law 12 months ago. I took a paralegal position at a firm of solicitors to get some experience, starting 5 days after my final exam. After about 3 months I was drafted into the IT department as a software developer and the firm are now paying for me to train as a business analyst.

When I graduated, I carried on working my backside off, got my professional cert's, got into the best company in my industry and i am currently working my way up the ladder internally. Best advice is to keep at it - studying doesnt end when uni does :)
 
Got a degree in Primary Education & French, for first 6 months or so I worked as a supply teacher as finding a job was difficult, decent schools were getting literally 100-150 applications for every job, then got myself a fixed-term job at a really good school which turned into a permanent one :)

Nothing wrong with sport science if you use it correctly...

Indeed, I know people that have fantastic jobs after completing a sports science degree and I also know people that got a 2:1 in LLB Law and have failed to get anything like a decent job.
