There’s less than 5 journalists in Ireland.
The other content providers probably followed Alison O’Reilly’s advice
I’ve received a call from a retired inspector I’d be friendly with. There may be an option to enter the Defence Forces and be carted up the ladder to Intelligence work. Serious pay. Interesting conversation. Be something different. We’ll see.

High risk but big gains.
Lads, thanks for all the support/piss taking etc. I went out and got shit faced last night. Feel like a new man this morning, my whole life ahead of me now. It’s unreal what a feed of beer will do, the clarity of thought today is off the charts.

Whatever you decide to do, your epals will back you 100%.
Best of luck with your next step pal. My auld fella was in the job and stuck it out to 57 (the then retirement age), 13 years after a gurrier stabbed him in the throat and very nearly killed him. For all the jibes lads make about Guards, it’s a tough enough gig.
He also often said that he’d loved to have been a journalist. I’ve experienced a bit of that profession over the years, and it’s a fairly precarious job that I wouldn’t rush to recommend to too many

What’s it all about guys.
What are the growth areas in a post covid world? I spent 30 minutes doing a career quiz last night and it placed me in the exact job I have now. Does that mean I’m in the right job, or has doing it conditioned me to think that way.
Hypothetically if you could go to Denmark or Holland or somewhere and do a degree what area is worth getting into? Leaving aside personal suitability or aptitude. I’d just like to be qualified in something I could do for decades and travel with maybe. An actual skillset.
Software engineer.
Can go where you like on contract and earn well.

Have you thought about studying to be a doctor? If you don’t get the grades you could just become a scientist and run the country
