Louboo Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I do disagree (Sorry) with a few of these posts Why would unpaid work build your confidence! you might as well earn if you are working. This will give you extra cash to socialise and treat yourself. I do think that a part time job and definatly a course at college would be the best, Im a little bit the same, I get bored easy and throw in the towel if it gets too hard, try wrighting down things that you enjoy and interest you and see what courses would match. Do a couple og part time courses if thats what you see. hope this helps a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also give you a lot of useful experience, for any career path you may wish to take in the future, be it retail, nursing or medical field, management, creative professions... the list is endless. there are also a lot of transferable skills to be gained, not least communication, dealing with customers, patients, colleagues...and a chance to meet new people and make new friends. at 17 you can be limited in what jobs are available to you, so volunteering is a good option to try. there is an organisation in Sheffield, cant remember the name, which you can visit and they can help you find a position or project to suit your interests and in the right location. think it is/used to be based on Division St..I may be dreaming here, hopefully someone will point out the right info:) You are 17, we don't know when you will be 18 but it can't be more than a year:D a lot more possibilities will be open to you jobwise at 18 so that;s something to look forward to. in the meantime get yourself out and try volunteering, you can also do some research into college courses in preparation for the future..you can tailor your voluntary work, and later your part time job, to the course you want to do. Cabin crew - if that is something you want to do, anything to do with customer service would be a good start - most voluntary positions would involve an element of this you don't always need money to do things you enjoy..it does help of course:) but until you get a paid job and more cash, take advantage of the great walks round Sheffield, and lots of free things to do once you start looking into it. good idea to drag your boyfriend off the xbox lol! or just start wandering off to explore and do some interesting stuff on your own instead of watching him play games..he'll soon be curious enough to want to go with you:) nowadays most teenagers seem to have hundreds of facebook friends, but in my view you can have several, even 2 or 3! close and true friends and that is worth more than any impressive numbers kids these days rack up. quality not quantity you see:) also, not all friends stay with us throughout our lives, often the best ones only appear later in life Good luck!
