Dont know what to do...

I have been quiet on the blog front lately; mostly because Ive got nothing to talk about.

Right now I have finished Uni and need to find a job. After a three year computing degree I know for sure I never want to touch any programming language or router again. This doesnt really leave me with many choices in regards to my future career. There are very few jobs going at the moment in IT and Computing which makes it even harder to find a job any way. Towards the end of the last year of uni we were supposed to have guest lectures from recruiters but most of them pulled out because their companies were not taking on this year. Another recruiter said that many IT graduates from last year were still looking for work which meant companies had twice as many graduates to choose from so could be picky with who they employ and lower the wages. Ive had a couple of interviews for jobs but every employee seems to be after someone with more hands on experience which leaves me in a sort of catch 22 situation; without a job I can get experience and without experience I cant get a job.

I was thinking of going back to uni to do a Masters degree but havent got the £3000 to pay for it and probably couldnt live another 12 months on part time wages. Someone suggested I do a Nursing degree as the NHS pay for tuition fees and I would recieve a monthly bursary which would help me through the course. I made some enquiries in to applying for a Pre Registration Menthal Health Nursing degree in the the same uni I attended but unfortunately registration closed a few weeks ago so it is back to the drawing board. I could wait till September to apply to start in 2011 but it still leaves me working part time for 12 months.

It is something I will need to have a really good think about. On the bright side though I go to Mexico next Wednesday (30th) for a much needed two weeks in the sun. I think once I get home I will have to decide what Im going to do.

Has anyone else gone through anything similar and decided to take a path in completely the opposite direction to what they have studied?
