Ummm, hipocrite? One minute you're moaning about how you need qualifications to get a job (and your not a school leaver yet, noone will offer you a job, just deal with it), but you want to go on and do A-Levels and a Degree?...

I can't see how this is hypocritical... I want to go high in my education, and make something of my life, but while I'm still living with my parents for what's left of the next 2 years, I'd like to lighten my burden on them and bring a bit more money into the house, so I can cover my costs and just help out if I ever need to.
Does that seem so bad? I just think it's a bit silly that employers look for 'bits of paper', instead of the individual's own capacity, ignoring the fact that they are capable of achieving these qualifications, but just haven't gotten there yet.

sorry guys... I'm part way through 17 days off now, though having been to the shops a few times since Friday, I have appreciated very much that some people have to work during this time, so my thoughts are with you and I hope you can have some fun at this time of the year while working

sadly it's my choice Big M, I hold down 3 jobs, and while I've got 2 weeks off 2 f them, I felt a little bit disjointed so I nominated myself for OT at the 3rd job....

this year its not my choice as most contractors are off due to "budgetry requirements" for the company I am working for this year.

Mind you I worked right through last year (different company/contract) but had 3 weeks of the year before so its swings and roundabouts and I don't mind so much this year as I have so much personal stuff to catch up on.

Got a great New Years party o go to next week too

Well i work in a hotel as a Duty Manager. At Christmas it closes though some hotels dont. Some of us each year get picked out to work when its closed which is for 4 days. Now what is nice is you get to work 10 hours sitting in a posh hotel(just watching the place) in any room with a portable phone the bar is free and so is the christmas dinner they leave for you. And all the tv you can watch whilst on duty. Not so bad really and you get triple time lol
