I work for the local council, cut grass in the summer & trim bushes in the winter.

I can't stand the winter but love the summer time, I get left on my lonesome to do a route.... no one to bother me, just turn the mp3 player up full and the day goes past so quick.

There's quite a few on this forum, even newbie ones like Zefan

Cool.

I have actually been looking at certain options in the forces recently. I should probably dig up that big thread and start asking some questions.

They're the ones I was considering.

lemonkettaz · 29 Dec 2011 at 00:18

ha, nah go for it.

Not sure what it's like now but when I was going through the application process the RAF and Navy waiting times were horrific

Rightly so

They don't seem THAT bad at the moment... or maybe I've just never seen them when they're good.

Either way you can't base your career on waiting times!

How horrific is horrific? Kinda interested in being a warfare officer, but I'm 23 in just over a month and need to do a lot of work on my fitness before I'd be ready to apply, so time is really running out on that one. :/

Is it a prerequisite to be ridiculously good looking to work in that particular area of Selfridges?

Final year maths and physics student.

Applying for software dev roles currently, will probably go back into academia in a few years though :confused:
