[Lee H]

Assistant Accountant at a travel company. Hoping to finally qualify next year after 4 years of exams and move into a better role in a better company.

[novabex]

I used to do accounting in my old job. For local government though. I hated it!! Boring work and boring people (no offence). Much rather do what I'm studying towards now!!

[BIGS]

Ive just jacked in being a barber and hope to go into the fire service next summer.If they stop changing the date's. If not working on cruiseships

[Lee H]

Sort of see where you are coming from but despite the stereotyping not all Accountants are boring.

[novabex]

I definatly wasn't boring!! Haha.

It is good money though... but I'd rather be on **** money doing something I enjoy!

[Lee H]

Wouldn't class myself as boring either, spend most of my time messing with cars or at the pub like most people, not with my head buried in books (maybe I should be doing a bit more of that though tbh)

Not good money yet either unfortunately but should change in the near future with a bit of luck.

[novabex]

Good luck with it. Wish I had it in me to stick with it. My parents were fuming when I handed my notice in! lol

[Lee H]

Good luck with it. Wish I had it in me to stick with it. My parents were fuming when I handed my notice in! lol

Not sure if i've got it in me to do my final exams but i've got this far now and its a bit late to turn back now.

[wisewood]

which qualification is it?

[Lee H]

which qualification is it?

CIMA, presume you will be studying ACCA in your job?

[wisewood]

half way through AAT at the moment, only got the accounts job 11 months ago lol, then ACCA after AAT though yeah.

Not quite decided yet though, see what sort of money i'm offered to stay here when i finish the AAT, if its not enough, i'll move on and see where i end up. Only way to make loads of money from practice is to work for yourself, whereas if you're going down the CIMA route you can land jobs of 75k with a few years experience behind you ... its a hard choice - but fortunately i dont need to decide yet lol

[novabex]

AAT. Thats what I was going to do. Would of started it by now if I was in my old job. lol

[Lee H]

Did my AAT first but in hindsight I should have just started CIMA as I would be a year further on then I am now which would make me pretty much qualified. Never mind though, no rush!!

[wisewood]

AAT is pretty easy to be fair ... so far.

Although having said that, my brain went a bit mushy last night when we went over "double entry for process costing with abnormal gains" lol

I never even thought of accounts as a career - i just decided i wanted a career instead of just another job, spoke to mum at a family barbeque and she happened to mention the AAT, so i signed up - couple of months after starting it i got a job working here (tutor at college mentioned this place were looking for someone). The rest is history lol


Did my AAT first but in hindsight I should have just started CIMA as I would be a year further on then I am now which would make me pretty much qualified. Never mind though, no rush!!

I feel there is a rush for me, I'm 26, and another 5 years studying till i qualify means i'll be 31. Fair enough, there's people in their late 30's on my aat course, but i want the riches, and i want them now :thumb:

Wish i'd thought about it when i left school, could have been earning 35k a year for the last 5 years. If only i'd known then that i would enjoy doing maths for a living lol

[Lee H]

I've found the CIMA exams reasonable so far but not very good on the wordy written papers which is what you have to be good at at the top level so can see me coming unstuck.

[wisewood]

Also, i thought you got credit from CIMA for the AAT course, and that cut it down to 3 years instead of 4?

I dont like written papers. Explaining WHY something works is much harder than just working it out.

[Jack]

I used to do accounting in my old job. For local government though. I hated it!! Boring work and boring people (no offence).!!
I used to work in the education department at the local council, but left to join the MOD as both the job and people there sucked ass. All the people <30 just couldn't give a toss about their job, the council as a whole, or anything else. The people >30 were all a bunch of weirdos, my supervisor used to cream herself over the database we used :wtf: Not to mention the excess of middle management which spent 95% of the time in all day meetings about god-knows-what.

Although the people in the MOD are better (well they were in AH anyway, where I am now is serious nerdsville, stereotypical IT geeks - there's a guy up the corridor who looks like something from Lord Of The Rings, and Father Christmas sits opposite me) and the middle management actually do stuff instead of eat biscuits in meetings all day, the orgnization spends money like its water (although thats mainly because every supplier anally invades the govt for shoddy products and services) and in most establishments there is a fair amount of in-fighting.

[Lee H]

Also, i thought you got credit from CIMA for the AAT course, and that cut it down to 3 years instead of 4?

You do but the AAT qualification took 2 years rather than just doing the 1 year foundation level of CIMA. I was 25 last month and should be doing my finals next May so not too bad. Just need to gain another 18 months practical experience then :eek:

[Lee H]

Thats what the papers get like near the end unfortunately. Sitting my last paper on this level next month and there are no numbers on it whatsoever.

[wisewood]

ah yes, basic maths problem let me down lol

[dannyb]

there's a guy up the corridor who looks like something from Lord Of The Rings, and Father Christmas sits opposite me

Your job would really bring out the school playground bully in me.

[Lozzie C]

Bet your bf has a fun time ;)
Also do you ever get the desire to dress up as a giant kangaroo and go food shopping?

It's his mum who I work for- she's good fun though! My mates and I occasionally have a try on of the stuff there but it's usually busy, last thing I had was a pvc dress which was quite cute and my mate had a big pink hippo costume on.
Honestly, I've never had the urge to dress as a kangaroo. I take it you do though?! lol

[Donova]

I reckon I'm the oldest fella on here, did nearly 30 years:eek: with British gas as a distribution craftsman (that's laying gas mains) I now work part time delivering stationary, driving a merc sprinter or a 7.5 tonne truck.

[Fester]

Same as Breeny lol

I have a 'good' IT degree (whatever that means these days) and several years IT' behind me.

I think IT is ****. I would not advise anyone to go near it profeSHUNally.

Any suggestions for a new job appreciated lol. 'Graduate' positions possible with the 2.1 (Hons). I need something:


That will bring in ****ing loads of money
I won't have to talk to anyone
No uniform or dress code
No overpaid ****ING MORONS in my face (they can be elsewhere as long as not near me)
Not customer facing
No sales
Indoors This looks like the 'dream job' but I reckon there's things there that a lot of people won't be able to hack! I don't need/want contact with people at work, surely there must be a niche job!! HELP!

[Jack]

iI you have a degree, GCHQ will be more than happy to take you... I'm already in the MOD and they don't seem to be interested in me because I don't have a bit of paper to say I pissed ~4 years of my life away at uni lol

Haha...

[Matt2107]

One of my old work collegues was really into 2nd world war re-inactments (sounds boring but you get to dress up as a soldier with fake guns and pretend to shoot each other... then get pissed afterwards)

He used to dress up as a Nazi SS soldier in full uniform but he'd always dress up before he drove to the place.... he used to get some right funny looks when he pulled up at lights in the full uniform.

Do you reckon in 20 years fancy dress shops will stock a Chav outfit?

[Mr-G]

I am a Warehouse supervisor for a company that sells spares and accessories for Volkswagon campervans, T2, T25, T4 and the new T5. we also sells all the camping gear.

I spend all day checking orders that have been picked ready for dispatch to make sure they are correct and then i bill the credit/debit cards.

When i am not doing that i am normally razzing about on the counterbalance.
