Soory to bump this thread but I missed it as I was away at the time.

I can only point out that my daughter has a literature degree which wasn't proving any help in obtaining a job in any of the fields that seemed appropriate.However a chance visit to Specsavers to get some new glasses got her a suggestion from the ophthalmist/Managing Director of the shop that she should consider a career as a dispensing chemist and furthermore offering her a chance of a job in the meantime to see if she might like to find out what the job entailed.

Now 3 years after leaving Uni she is happily involved in working and training with that particular branch of Specsavers on the first half of a two year course.

Hope that inspires.
