Does anyone else just feel really unmotivated and lost after finishing uni? For context, I finished uni nearly 3 months ago with a 2:1 in psychology and since then I’ve applied to nearly 70 jobs and around 10 volunteering roles both of which haven’t really gone anywhere. From these, I’ve had 2 interviews, which were for a support worker and a SEN teaching assistant. However, after visiting, they genuinely seemed more like care roles than anything that I would really be involved in. I really don’t want to sound unappreciative, as I know many people will apply to that many roles and not get any interviews, but these two jobs specifically were just very different in person to what was advertised on the job description (mostly a LOT of personal care and overall very stressful and not staff-friendly environments). Part of me does feel bad declining them as I know that they would be relevant psychology experience for my CV, but I just don’t those roles were right for me at all.

I just really don’t know what to do as I feel like my options are either I a) get a basic hospitality job that would be easier to get and provide a source of income, however this would not contribute anything psychology-relevant to my CV, b) try and get one of the more basic psychology-relevant jobs ie. support worker, SEN TA, that I don’t think I would enjoy or c) keep applying for jobs that I would find more personally interesting that also are psychology-relevant. FYI, I am aware that for more higher-level jobs such as AP, PWP, research assistant jobs you need more experience, as I have already applied and been rejected, I am just not sure how to get this experience but still enjoy what I am doing?

I really don’t want to come across in the wrong way, as I know that those jobs I got interviewed for can be really interesting and meaningful, however just for me personally they are not the area of psychology that I enjoy. I’m not 100% whether I would like to go down the clinical psychology route, as this is probably my favourite area of psychology however I know that it is a very long route and I guess I think should I pursue such a long journey if I am not 100% sure? It’s just so difficult as I do really really enjoy psychology as a subject so I would quite like to pursue it further in some way, however I know that a lot of people say a undergrad degree is not enough, so then it’s having more studying and debt to stress about. So I’m really stuck between further education or using my psychology degree to branch into something else. Sorry I know this is very long, I’d appreciate any advice I can get :)

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for where my boyfriend and I should go in Italy for a week towards the end of June/ beginning of July?

We enjoy adventuring and exploring, so we’re not really the type to sit by the pool or beach all day, and we’re not super bothered about nightlife. I’m kind of wanting to do a mix of everything eg. beaches, mountains, towns, cities etc so we’re happy to travel to more than one place (however I know we have to be realistic with how much we can travel in 7 days).

Italy has so many different places with all different vibes it’s hard to work out which is the best for us, although I’m not too bothered about visiting super popular busy places such as Rome, however Lake Como has always stood out to me, although I know that is popular too. I’m just not sure whether to go North and do for example Milan, Lake Como, Crema or South and do for example Naples, Pompei, Amalfi Coast.

We are also young adults so hoping to keep it on a relatively low budget, however I know booking it only a few weeks in advance isn’t going to be the cheapest!

If anyone has an advice it would be really appreciated!
