It depends on the individual.

Some people like to sit down in one place all day and others wanna move about.

You seem to enjoy having power and punishing people so you'd make a good judge (not likely though), police (I hear they want people from ethnic minorities), or somewhere in the legal system.

I myself wanna work somewhere where I have power over others, and with the added element of punishing people, it'll be like heaven.

Do you like physical, getting your hands dirty kinda work?

Ask yourself questions, only you know the answer to your destiny! [size=7](does that even make sense)[/size]

Being a police officer isn't that bad. You get respect, power, no law background is needed along with good pay and pension.

However if you have (any) degree then you can apply for something called an accelerated promotion scheme which basically gets you up the career ladder quickly but obviously it aint easy. I've heard it from other officers that it's better to join like everyone else. If you work in London then its even better coz you get paid more.

If you wanna do a job which requires a law background then you can simply take a one year law conversion course, but it's really boring. I know someone who got a 1st politics degree and they're now doing a one year law conversion course.

There are many types of security work you can do, interested in being a bodyguard?.....btw are we allowed to be a bodyguard?

The Prison Service have a scheme for graduates, called an Intensive Development Scheme. Which you may know from the name is course designed for graduates. This is abit like the police's accelerated promotion scheme which gets you up the career ladder quickly, but again it aint easy.

I am interested in these two areas, police being the 1st and prison service being my 2nd choice.

If you're not interested in the areas I have mentioned you would be good at a job which requires using computers. What about people who make games, they get paid alot. Or if you're interested in computer hardware then you can earn a living fixing and installing hardware.

:shock:

Blimey. That's a bit harsh...and who are we to say so.

I'm sure most people feel like this some time if not most of the time.

I think it's alot harder for the guys coz they [i]have[/i] to work. There aren't many people who actually enjoy their work, it's just something they have to do. If I was in that position I think I'd be kind of stuck, I get bored very easily, so would want to do something different, which is a lot easier thought than done. Having to make a decision about your life career even younger than the age of 16 doesn't help. I don't think many people have a clue at that age or even later.

What about computer programming or teaching?

Don't you have a science degree? I know someone who had a chemistry degree and worked in a textile place as a junior scientist, although there aren't many places like that, or what about a lab technician or something - although that sounds kind of boring.

Most obvious thing....

have you been on the jobcentre plus website?

May Allah swt bless you with the job of your dreams. Ameen.

i only ment 'hypothetically', if 1 was 2 win the lottery...

i mean u never no, sum1 mite leave me a huge sum in there will

yeah forbidden but if ur ever in the uk Dave go to the local lottery point in the weekend and ull see the majority of the ppl standing there waiting for their lucky tickets are muslims. Even if these ppl aren't devout they won't want to be seen as justifying gambling so they'll still make some excuse oh it's just the odd flutter. if i win ill give the proceeds to charity looooool.

i used to put in the odd quid when it first began here in the uk, that was before i was practising, still no excuse i was still muslim back then even tho i was ignorant of the obligations. My parents used to do the weekend draw and theyd say u wana choose some numbers for a quid aswell lol. i shouldn't laugh. Parents don't do it anymore they soon forgot the novelty side realised the odds of winning were minute. mums won them scratch cards lots of times though, she should really go bingo lool.

Theres one muslim man in our town who won the jackpot in the early days. all a sudden he's minted and no one can figure out why. he still lives in his modest 3 bed terraced victorian property but money is not a problem anymore, everyone can see that. those close to him know he won the lottery, the rest don't know coz it's shameful he;s a muslim dude it's not the done thing.

dont you mean web surfing

since you already know the basics of web development, get yourself certified by microsoft. once you've got the cert, there's no big need for a portfolio.

get c# under belt and you'd be looking at contracts between £300-£500 daily rate.

it will be hard work, and not everyone is capable of that level of study. but putting in 2 hours a day for two months should get you ready for the exams.

sales, open source technologies.. im not dissing it, but for equal the effort you can get paid a lot more.

C# evolved from java which evolved from C..

if you want, i'll mail you some really good pdf books that show you step by step guidelines to creating applications and web sites in c#/.NET

its all about going back to when you were learning about object oriented programming.

php has had the reputation of being an open source scripting language thats easy to follow. but even that has taken the object oriented root.

here check this book out, will make you decide if its for you or not.
