Little Butch 16 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm now 20 and have decided it's time to get out of dead end jobs and look for a 'career'! I'm an outgoing person and want to choose something that suits me.. I started an Aboriculture Diploma but left it to join the army which didn't go to plan anyway which was a waste. I did enjoy it and it was something that I could have set up my own buisness in and hopefully made an alright living out of it When I left school I thought about going to College and studying Countryside Management but never ended up doing it. Things like videoing wildlife etc interest me, I often watch people on tv abroad with Bears/Lios etc and think that's something I'd LOVE to do but just how realistic is this? Anybody gone down this route or any other 'exciting' job that could give suggestions or advice? I know It'll be a case of starting at the bottom but I think It's about time I started..

"Earth!" 503 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 No good thinking about it, your only 20 so get out there and do it or in years to come it will be "what ifs" on your mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I would have thought that you would have to go to collage and study filming or film making or some such thing and then specialise in wildlife filming ... What happened with the army ??? ........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Earth!" 503 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 That's what I'm thinking mate! Just hard knowing where to start.. you obviously have internet access, use your brain... there is such thing as a telephone directory too, ring some colleges up also, go to the job centre for advise or the citizens advice bureau. it wont just land in your lap mate. as previously said, at 20, get a job as a club rep abroad, drink,dance, shag(LOTS) for a couple of years then get a good job as im sure i speak from a few of us that didnt and are now settled down 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Butch 16 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm looking at a level 3 media course at the local college, something I could do then specialise in wildlife filming and maybe eventually film some big stuff abroad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chief Joseph . not a truer word. learn by mistakes and sadly not some of the regrets i have from years past. my kids have been "TOLD!", i mean advised to work hard at school and then college.. remember the same words from my parents but ignored their wise words as we ALL did..

I'd do exactly as you said and enjoy it. Come home and hopefully have a few quid in my pocket, attend a college and get some kind of trade like Plumber, Joiner or Mechanic. Work hard for a few years and then start my own business and reap the rewards..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
