after my 11 consectutive day of shiteness (split up with a couple of weekends) i've decided i need to find a new job. I'm getting home stressed out like a bastard and i'm working 8-30 > 6.30 far to often for my liking.

Looking for suggestions any ideas?

alcoholic

I quite like the idea of being a postman :advercool:

What do you do at the moment (so we can avoid suggesting it)?

tried that and now my body is trying to kill me  :x

working in it sales/account management

That sounds flash, I thought you worked on the tills at PC World  :wink:   :D

i'd quite like to do green keeping at a major golf course

 Here's a job for you, dave.

 Salary £0.0001k for a cup of tea

i used to work at office world if that helps you. i've turned into a stressed out cunt :x

even my customers have noticed it  :?

Where do I apply?

Whits - web designer 8)

 You'd only get the sack :wink:

and those bastards won't let me take voluntary redundancy   :x  :x  :x

I was thinking about being a postie myself :o

Butcher, it is a great job. IM just doing it to get some money before I go to uni.

be an actuary. Ahem.

I like the idea of being a freelance photographer.  Own hours to suit, little overheads and best of all being your own boss.

That or a plumber/plasterer who seem to make silly money at the moment.  

Top tip here from a mates brother who is a plumber those old school radiators that you see old buildings the big bulky things are now worth an absolute fortune and are in demand for sWANKy apartments.

i could start a franchise. with this i will be on the shit channels 24 hours a day - happy days!

Because plumbers and plasterers are making loads of money at the moment loads of people are taking it up and so in 5 to 10 years time there will be loads of them and the rest of us will be able to get a plumber for peanuts.

i might learn it and move to australia they are crying out for useful people

Sales is always hard, Ive stopped setting myself targets at work cos id always get stresses.  Instead ive started getting in at 7.30 so I can leave at 4 when I get bored!

Freelance photographer - good idea as long as your motivated and can get work.  I know a few photoigraphers who find getting jobs quite hard.

Brother in law is a postie loves it.  Maybe try design work if you like computers, my advice to anyone is go on your own, fuck working for someone its hard at times but well worth it

Very true I suppose.

Chippie looks a good trade and seem to be in demand at the moment.

Days like today that I really wish I could get to play outdoors or anywhere other than the same old identikit offices.

I had a franchise almost in the bag myself about a year or so back but didn't quite get the finances together.  Thought I was there but would have been a little too tight for comfort on the initial cash flow so I bought an apartment instead, that’s still not fucking built.   :evil:

I'd quite like an independent menswear store selling new and up and coming labels with a few solid established brands.  Did the research and sums and everything looked rosy but getting even some of the lesser known labels to come in is a bastardo.  Gonna look into it again in 12 months or so.

project management - easy as pie - pays a lot and if that gets to exciting become a consultant - mffa (money for fuck all)!

i fuckin hated being a postman, i worked for parcelforce fuckin nightmare, far too early in the morning, boss was a cunt, dogs attacking you, and people in general are fuckwits, lasted 6 months then left.

Likewise. I'm hoping that the combination of photography, film studies and English language will lead onto a decent Uni degree and I'll be able to work within the media as a photographer - preferably sports and freelance.

I'll have to stop being such a useless cunt first though  :?

I don't know how any of you lot can be stressed with work…….. you're all on here doing fuck all :wink:

no I'm not - I'm writing stuff - that's what we all do round here

Don't get smart with me! :wink:

cucking funts  :x  :x  :x  :x

If I ever persuade anyone that going into business making clothes aimed at snowboarders etc. is a good idea, then you'd be welcome to stock some of my stuff.  It would only be tees, jumpers and jeans etc.

I'd recommend being unemployed. The hours are great. Unfortunately the pay isn't

the bloke who started fat face used to live down my road if you've ever heard of them?

I have a fat face hat.  I met the guy who started evil weazel, have you heard of them?

Why not try to make a living from buying and selling on ebay? Loads of people have made a mint from it, it's just about knowing what items are good profit makers

I used to make a couple hundred on a good week.  You can sell pretty much anything for a decent profit it's all down to how you list it.

Mnaged to make £200 off 20 old VHS vids.

Brother is making £300+ a week selling phone covers.

Nowadays though I only sell when I'm broke and need beer tokens.

I considered doing that...come to think of it I am going to do it.

Actually this is a true story, today I sold £1.25 of legal currency to some sap in the states for £15.00

All about packaging.

i'm made my first bulk purchase on ebay the other day, will update you on how its going once i get the listing up!

I've looked into trying to make a few quid on ebay (from buying then selling on), but don't really know where to start, I read one of those ebooks on how to become rich from ebay, but didn't really help. I was going to try buying some wristbands in bulk, then sell them on individually, but they don't seem to be selling as well as they were about a month ago, looks like I've missed the boat on that one

Not used em so don't ask if they are any good.


Bit ropey selling charity wrist bands but you can make a couple of quid on each one.

Secret is to mke up a quid or so on P&P and sell lower than anyone else on the starting price.

I'm no expert on the selling side, but have brought a few things and Dazzza's right re the postage and lower starting price.

I've seen various items where one has started lower than the other but gone for more cause people saw it at the start, saw it was cheaper and watched that item, so I think that's a good tip.

Aye thats the way Bedford.

 Start your tat off at a penny make on the P&P and well as much as it's frowned upon bid on your own items using another account.

  If people are looking for a particular item and see a couple of bids on one already it generates interest.  Sell your item as the best of the lot with included insurance, UK seller, and superior quality and you'll attract more bids.  Plus if somethings not reaching the price you want you can win the auction yourself.

Ahhh ebay. People are nuts on there, if they get carried away in a bidding war it's great. I mean who else would pay £14 for a pope (soap) on a rope that 5 minutes of googling can locate for £3.75.

OR YOU COULD POP TO THE SHOP AND BUY ONE!

People were buying Jack Nicholas Scottish 5 pound notes on there which were issued recently because of the open. They've been going for up to 20 pounds! Or you can go to the Royal Bank of Scotland website and pay 5 pounds for one!  People get carried away on e-bay, good if you're a seller though.

A mate of mine sells cars on ebay.

He goes to the auctions to pick up cars about 4-5 years old for 1-2 grand less than the list price, spends about a couple of hundred quid smartening them up (full valet, fix any dinks on the bodywork etc..) and hasn't made a loss yet. Nice little earner by all accounts.
