Right - enough of 'funny' journal postings. I've actually got something important going on in my life to report:
I have been offered a place at University of Wales, Swansea to study a PGCE!
Tis will neatly encapsulate two loose ends in my life, namely the lack of career progression, and the fact that I live 230 miles away from my girlfriend.
Well, time to break out the 
, I think.

Post Graduate Certificate in Education - a one yr course which gets you QTA qualified teaching something.
*wonders off muttering about how sad it is that I know that trying to justify it with "I work at a uni" excuse and failing*
Congrats B

Congrats B 
A PGCE is a Post Graduate Certificate of Education. It's compulsory for those wanting to teach 11-18 year olds in the UK.
Good luck B.
Liam.

Thank you all.
Danny B: I will be teaching Chemistry. It was either that or Maths.
Bob: Night out with you? Oh, Christ, I'd forgotten about that.

Pssst, you can also do PGCE's for primary teaching as well.

Congratulations...hope this doesn't mean that you will get so busy that we will never see you again.
Teaching is such a wonderful thing to do...be proud of yourself.

I'm glad some people are supportive of teaching - I've had nothing but warnings ever since I declared I was going to do a PGCE.
I think the potential job satisfaction is my main reason, though.
