I realise I’m starting most of my posts with questions at the moment, but that’s sort of how I feel. Not only am I packing to go back into scary scary exam term, but there’s the business of summer jobs to sort out. And then what to do next year. And then what to do when I graduate. Argh.

In all this uncertainty, I’ve developed quite a love of the Cambridge Careers Service. It has excellent vacancy listings, which is the part I like. It’s general advice is, well, very general - I fear it wouldn’t be much help to people in a genuine career crisis. But then maybe that’s what the face-to-face service is for.

I also wish their subject-specific section had Classics. There’s only English, Maths, Music and History - are these perhaps the students with the least direction in their lives? The History section is moderately useful for ideas, I suppose. Gives a nice list of skills which a Cambridge degree gives you, for use on CVs. They should probably update their “destinations of History graduates” - the latest ones are from 2001.

Ah well. Maybe I should stop this general moaning now - it’s not even really Classics-based. It’s just one of those subjects where people tell you that you can do anything you want when you leave - which sometimes feels like no help at all!

Onward to exams.
