If you have a bad conscience (as I do for sheer laziness) then volunteer work can definitely make you feel better about yourself.

I've considered volunteer work, but volunteering for a political party is the most likely to actually happen. That is, my urge for power is greater than my urge to do good.

I'm not a good man, and probably I never was. I'm a centrist I guess.

I did some volunteer work tonight. But that does not count as part of my 40 hours university placement. I just "bulk billed" the lady. Just kidding.

I'm not a centrist politically. I'm quite left wing.

If there's some other argument happening, I like to take the center position at least from the start. "You're both wrong, you're both right" until I've picked a side. I may not actually contribute to the debate, but I like to think I help the tone.

You haven't said what you're enrolled in (and that's OK) but whatever it is, it will help you to do voluntary work. It could be credits so you can go straight from qualification to paid work. Or it could just be experience.

Back when I was hard unemployed (ie on benefits) I tried to get work at nursing homes and a disabled children's home (I know, but I had good intentions.) They didn't want me because (a) I had no qualifications, but (b) they didn't think I'd last a week.

Working with the elderly, or with disabled people of any age, is actually really hard. The clients aren't going to be nice to you, in fact they can be very bitchy. They basically have you over a barrel, and they'll do dumb stuff like spilling their meal on the floor, just to watch you clean it up.

Other staff can be pretty bitchy too. I'm guessing it helps to have sex with the other staff, but that never seemed like an option. Most junior staff, are expected to make the first move. If it's even a chance, I would suggest you try that.

Oops, I see i just replied out of order. But that's OK, right? You seem chatty.

If you really are at university, I would strongly advise that you do sleep around. "It's not what you know, it's who you know" and you'd be surprised who will help you out later, even if your sexual liaison wasn't that successful at the time.

If you're not at university or TAFE, I'm sorry. It's a very expensive adventure now, but back when I went to uni the only fees were Union fees. I did not graduate, which is inexcusable since I passed second year and had ten years grace to enroll in the final year (for a degree I guess in Arts, since Philosophy was my strongest.) Well I could have taken Maths again, and graduated two years later in Science. Maths and Philosophy double major, that would get me some kind of job lol.

Aurora Complexus is a Lefty/Democrat/French/Media Troll
...trolling to antagonise in the hope of some 'old' Confederate Redneck or German Nazi to oppose his right to troll and antagonise so he has a justification TO EXIST (in the first place Roll Eyes

) by those two types of people (who no longer exist as the soapbox by which he and his kind have stood on for so long).

Thank god China (both Nationals & Communists) as a whole will protect Taiwan from such 'intrusions' via the backdoor by such Democrat 'buggery' across the pacific.

When such like the above mentioned realise that the 'soapbox' is no longer around to support their justification to exist... they'll HANG.

and they HANG HIGH indeed.
