Hey Everyone,
I am 24 I completed a Level 6 Higher Cert in Financial Services last May and have had no luck in finding employment since, I sent out hundreds of CVs and only manage 3 interviews 2 of which I was unsuccessful and I have the other coming up next week which is only an internship in a voluntary organisation although a very reputable one.
I have known for some time now that business and finance is not what I really enjoy although I am rather good at, Health and fitness is what I love doing.
I applied to return to college as a mature student naming Health Promotion and Exercise and Health Studies as my number 1 and 2 choices both being held at Waterford IT. But I am torn between the 2 because Exercise and health seems to be a bit more down my alley as it involves more activity with clients to aid them with there fitness and weight loss goals but the down side is that I will just basically become a glorified personal trainer not that there is anything wrong with that but I can do that part time in a shorter space of time and work while doing so........NCEF gives me this option.
Health Promotion seems to be a safer bet as getting a job within the HSE is a possibility along with a few other bodies, not only this but the money and hours and opportunities for promotion would be considerably better.
Or should I stay trying to get a job within the financial services sector??
I really need some good advice as this has been on my mind for months now and I cant make a decision that im happy with for more than a week or 2.
Thanks
