Maybe Im completely paranoid from listening to the ongoing media doom and gloom but at this point in time Im consistently worried about my career and future income etc. and am looking for advice I suppose on any further measures I should be taking.
For the last 4 years Ive worked in public sector education after 5 years in two private sector organisations which i left to pursue a masters degree. I have a bachelors degree, masters and am currently working on a BSc in another area part time which will take me about 3 years in addition to a few more bits and pieces. I do have fulltime hours at the moment but not a permanent contract (should be due CID) but I cant help worrying that the way things are going it could all fold anyway. Im generally careful with money and work a part time job too because im financing my brothers college education at the moment and helping out my elderly parents financially too. I resisted the urge to buy a house throughout the boom times and so dont have a mortgage/any debts at the moment thankfully.
I cannot think/research of anything else I can do to help secure my future. I know there are tens of thousands worse off. Ive spent the last 15 years accumulating qualifications and am trained to do several different jobs, love the one I have but as I say I am annoyingly concerned that efforts to date still might not be enough to stay afloat. Maybe I should just turn off the radio?
