(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); interesting topic, but how did everybody here (well the ones who have an occupation) get their job?

me personally, i done a weeks 'work experience' (basically a week of trying out the job)in automotive painting in year 10, and my primary goal was to get a part time apprenticeship, so work for half the week then go to school for the rest. towards the end of the week the boss came up to me and asked me outright if i wanted to start a full time apprenticeship with them and that they were really keen (so i would have to quit school), and well i thought long and hard about it over a few weeks, and i was doing considerably well in high school ('A' student mostly) so i really disliked the idea of quitting. Well a couple more weeks past, talking to a lot of people about it etc. and i end up ringing the boss and telling her that i'll take the offer. 4 years later and i'm now a fully qualified spray painter. of cause, my job has downfalls, eg. a lot of days i wonder why the fuck i chose to do it, but all in all, i'm happy to say i'm proud of where i have come today!

so yea, thats part of my life

Hopefully you can perform your duties. Unless you want out. But expect getting fucked over.

Does volunteering counts?
