alieraHave ordered the AAT Foundation Course (150 quid for *two* modules...), with the view of finding out if my (supposed) cleverness can be used in real life.
The exams are in December - have just missed the deadline for the May one, which is just as well. Now all I have to do is remember to register with the AAT (which isn't cheap... Anything to with accounting is expensive) by September the 1st.
...Once upon a time I wanted to specialise in Linguistics and be a researcher. That was back when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
The reality is that research doesn't pay, at least not in the field I liked. So that was that.
Accounting really has nothing to do whatsoever with my education (or inclination), but there are countless jobs in finance out there. And my friend A. reckons I would do quite well (I hope it is not just because he's biased... He has his own practice, so maybe he's right).
Pollen wins A-OK still. I hate waking up and not being able to open my eyes (it's always much, MUCH worse the day after the grass has been cut), and it's only April. I can feel the search-for- the-next-working-tablet approaching fast...
The postlady brought Torchwood goodness this morning. I have rented the first series (which I only saw in bits, I think Mother was staying and there was no iPlayer at the time), so looking forward to that.
The Boys are both IN, because it has started raining... I looked up from the kitchen widnow and saw this enormous black cloud over the park. Said to myself - reentry in 5...4...3..2... Blimey, they are BOTH on the bed already! :)
Off to look at some more job ads. Lucky me.

no subject
Date: 2008-04-11 05:09 pm (UTC)Because I don't know if I am *actually* going to be good at this (suspect I might, since I have done P+Ls for years), and it's less committing than starting a degree course.
We'll see...:)
