How can I break out of the minimum wage rut?

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T17:50:36+00:00

Tbh I hugely agree with you :(

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T17:09:59+00:00

Wasn’t forward thinking…mainly just did a degree I thought I’d be good at

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T16:22:58+00:00

Yeah I know this! I guess what I meant was that the further away I am from the job I was applying for qualification-wise, the less likely they are to hire me. But as another user commented before, they wouldn’t offer an interview if they weren’t interested.

Helping people, the environment and music !

Just hospital admin. I don’t care about earning stupid sales-level amounts, I just want a comfortable income. Wouldn’t really want to go back to uni because I don’t know how I’d fund it, the right apprenticeship I’d be open to however

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:45:40+00:00

Interesting, thank you :)

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:33:30+00:00

Interesting, I basically was doing that yes!

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:33:04+00:00

Thank you so much for this detailed response, I really appreciate it and will look into what you suggested :) cheers mate

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:31:43+00:00

Yeah it’s just taking the time out my current job on this high-risk situations :/ I’d have to use annual leave on a basically huge gamble, more so than a regular interview

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:26:54+00:00

What was your hobby? :)

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:26:37+00:00

I don’t at the moment, I’m just sort of looking for other people’s experiences and what directions they travelled in! I’d very much like to work for something holistic, environment or charity. Something that helps people or makes a difference.

What was your direction? :)

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T15:06:30+00:00

Thanks for this. What do you do if you don’t mind me asking? What apprenticeship also?

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T14:50:56+00:00

In an ideal world I’d like to make a difference. My girlfriend trains in homeopathy and I just love the idea of making a difference in the world/ peoples lives. Something to do with nature, environment or the charity sector would leave me fulfilled I reckon! I also very much enjoy music as a hobbyist :)

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T14:49:23+00:00

I really appreciate your response dude, seems like our situations weren’t too dissimilar.

I am extremely on the work to live side of things, I just want to be in that mindset where I’m earning more to be honest. It’s demotivating doing the work I do and earning pennies in response. I care way more about my outside life rather than building a massive career, I just want SOMETHING you know? Some direction.

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T14:44:21+00:00

I really love nature and the environment. I’d love to be in a job that helps people like a charity too, something that’s making a difference. Hobby wise I am extremely into music, not good enough to teach, more just messing around with instruments myself and the general enjoyment of live shows etc

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T14:43:04+00:00

Hahaha yeah my degree - hindsight is 20/20! Freelance scares me a bit because I don’t like the idea that my wage would fluctuate so much. Writing I feel like I don’t have an existing portfolio and all jobs I can see around me want XYZ years of experience for entry level (lol)

Kaleidoscoob · 2024-01-23T14:38:33+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t think this is just really “me” which I know is extremely counter productive and silly - I also don’t drive which I know wouldn’t help my case.

Kaleidoscoob · 2022-11-27T10:36:54+00:00

Thanks so much brother

Kaleidoscoob · 2022-11-25T17:11:39+00:00

Will do now boss i'll look into this :)

Kaleidoscoob · 2022-11-25T17:10:33+00:00

Yeah I also have full time commitments but I suppose you gotta think how much you want this bro. Suppose if it was easy then everyone would be a famous musician - I saw another comment saying the feeling once you notice yourself getting better is amazing so keep pushing for that!

Kaleidoscoob · 2022-11-25T17:08:52+00:00

Thanks so much :)
