Because I am far too negative in judging myself, I would like people to suggest potential careers to get me thinking (as my mind is blank on this).

It does not have to be computer related, merely what you think I might be good at.

Please state your reason.

This does include Uni courses.

Thanks.

Unfortunatly Met, we can't chose that for you. You have the chose something You think you'll be good at and Enjoy....

what dhr said, if you really don't know what you're good at or what you enjoy there are some problems.

That is the exact issue at hand.

If you dont know what your good at or what you enjoy, all you can do is experiment for a bit, go try some jobs, see what you like and where you fit in.

If its any help mets, when I leave full time education I don't really want to do anything. mainly because I cant image doing anything other than learning because that's all I have ever done.

I'm thinking IT tech support might be good metty, you just want ideas to springboard from, not be told what to do. If you don't think you have the qualifications do a short couple of courses I'd say. Just an idea, general admin might be ok as well.

I heard rumours GCHQ need a new Super Evil CEO if your interested.

Whilst slightly amusing, I am after serious suggestions here please. Thanks.

Computer technician or administrator like what Aaron does seems like a good idea for you Metritutus: ask Aaron about his job and see if it appeals to you.
Alternatively, there might be a church who needs a new organist: that would probably be your idea of heaven.
I'll think of some more and get back to you.

An organist doesn't get paid well, if at all...

It's usually a part time job at best. Mostly volunteer work, I think.

I would say 99% volunteer.

Seriously though you could see about a career in GCHQ perhaps? i'm told their recruiting again and im applying or planning to.

As same you can't get an apprentiship in conspiracy theory's, dream job maybe?

but back to serious i don't like saying what you should do with your life. i can just suggest job oppertunities ^_^

I'm not asking people to dictate what I do, merely offer suggestions to give me much needed ideas about potential career paths.

I did apply to GCHQ a couple of times iirc, but I didn't get past the paper sift.

A job in IT technical support would be good, but in applying for these and in interviews, I've found them to be demanding a higher knowledge, of networking in particular, than I currently possess.

I actually quite like the organist idea as some sort of side-hobby - there is a Church pretty near to us. The only problem with this is that my sight-reading is not as good as I would like, coupled with the fact that I've never so much as touched an organ before, let alone played on one.

I'll post my grades here if it helps.

A Level History - B
A Level Politics - C
A Level Physics - D
AS Geography - C

It's an odd bunch isn't it. I slashed out at random interests in the hope that something might reveal itself as to what I wanted to do with my future.

Find something/even anything.
Try something.
If it doesnt work out:
Try something else.
Back to start.

It's just a matter of trying to decide what to try.

I'll see about volunteering for the Church to play the organ. I hope it's not as hard as it looks. Dials, foot keys, etc.

Find a beautiful woman.

Whilst that would be hard in itself, finding one that would actually want me would be harder.

there's someone out there for everyone metty.

Even me apparently :O - how can anyone else be so full of awesomeness xD

Need a flow diagram.

But yes, just find something, go with it and see what you like. If nothing else, it's valuable experience.

I personally wouldn't agree with Aaron, but that's personal opinion.

@Wynney - You are clearly ignoring the fact that your awesomeness pales in comparison to mine!

Yeah, try anything you like the look of. Even random stuff that appeals to you. You're good on a PC< atleast thats a starting point, and a lot of unis would take you onto a computing course (like mine) with those grades! (Remeber, i got much much worse than you did )
