It feels like I need to make a decision regarding my employment search, am I looking for a mere job or am I looking for career? I'm not sure what to do in all honesty. there are aspects both good and bad regarding both options and it has left me in a state of confusion to say the very least.

You see... looking for a mere job to tie myself over until something I want comes along seems all well and good, but the problem is that I've been doing that for a very long time now. Since I was 17 years old to be exact, having a job at McDonalds whilst at college and university is proof of that. Granted I no longer work for McHell but it still feels like I'm just coasting by until something I want comes along. I'm 25 years old now, I don't want to be in the same bloody position I'm in job wise when I'm 30, and I know that's five years away but it's not really a lot of time and it will go very very quickly. So a career earch (even if it's not what I thought I would do) seems to be the better choice.

However... Job centres/newspapers/online services don't advertise careers, they advertise jobs. Careers in this recession are virtually non existant. If I look for a career and settle for nothing less then I could be waiting an even longer time and truth be told, I don't know how much longer I can stand being on Job Seekers allowence and spending every thursday being told by some total smug wanker that I'm not doing good enough to find work despite sending something off to a place nearly everyday.

I don't know what to do anymore, I really don't.
