At the time I was peeved and didn't think this doom and gloom merchant ought to be working with the unemployed. I wanted someone to give me encouragement not tell me I was on the scrap heap! I've never forgotten her words although I can't really say that my current situation proved her right or that her prediction played a part in me still not working six years on. What I needed/need is an inspiring careers advisor to help me look at my situation with different eyes. Instead, I keep finding people who seem particularly negative and have no suggestions for someone in my situation. I got the distinct feeling at one point that I was being greedy wanting a job when so many young people were trying to get started.
Now that it's all changed I have another ten years until I can claim my state pension (I started work at 15 and worked continuously until I hit 50 so have made a full contribution) and feel I should be doing more but have no idea what. I've slid into a comfy rut but sometimes think I've short-changed myself but can't come up with a solution.
