Financial and Administrative assistant.

Did the same thing before, for a year or so, without having any advancement or degree from a university. Didn't last obviously, but didn't expect it to.

I haven't a clue. My strongest subject has probably been statistics, but I couldn't see myself doing anything like that for a living.

Haha, stats.

Easiest AP course ever.

You could go into the insurance industry. They pay well for that type of work considering that's what it's based on.

Funny enough, that was the number one field recommended to me by my guidance counselor.

I'm used to working in marketing but I was laid off by two jobs and this was one of the only finance jobs available nearby.

Cameraman for Brighton and Hove Albion at the moment.
Want to work for sky sports or similar.

I'm going through the most difficult decision in my life right now. I've got an offer from a company in Egypt and they would want me to come by end of February. The job is fine and I interned there 2 summers ago, but it's tough to decide to move there permanently. The good thing is they could move me to New York for a more advanced position after a year once I get a hang of it and get my training.

What are the chances of that, though?

If you have nothing at home holding you back except your fears.. then you better go.

Pretty good. That's sort of the plan because they wanted to replace the guy who is currently working for them in New York.

Just to think how last week you were going on about how happy you were doing it.

Unlucky man What do you intend on doing now?

Well I still intend on doing the course

That report is very one sided and those guys who are commenting are (according to Zenos) both morons who either got sacked once Zenos got them a job, or they got kicked out for misbehaviour.

Still...the course hasn't been as good as I had intended. The diplomas are extremely annoying due to how much work you need to do and how boring it is....and you can't even get them until you finish your work placement which I'm not even sure I'll be able to get......they are nice to have (the diplomas) but they're not nearly as worthwhile as the other qualifications I have gotten from this.

Getting a work placement through Zenos is pretty much off putting for businesses...not only is it extra effort for them, but also Zenos charge them £6.50 an hour and I only get paid £90 a week . Might end up just getting some more qualifications whilst I'm still on the course, and then just leave the diplomas and go and get a job.

That sucks dude but if you can't find work, i guess you have to.

Good luck with life changing decisions in 2012. (no pressure)

Wow big decision, you won't be there to see Ron Paul come into power

are you fluent in Egyptian?

I won't be able to vote either. Well I guess I could still through the mail.

Yes, I'm fluent in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic.

will you be working in a pyramid?

Don't go there, ahly. You'll regret it.

@elindian:

@blade: I haven't decided anything, but I don't really have much options to consider. Worst case, I'll spend some time there and come back if I can't handle it.

how long do you expect to be there for before they transfer you?

edit: oh a year

You'll end up as President Ahly of Egypt

If Elbaradei can't get enough support for living outside of Egypt for a while, imagine me.

Found a apprenticeship in painting and decorating in the town I should be moving to in Germany. Should be good.
