    So this is the story guys

    (not sure if this is PI or really what it is so Mods feel free to move it!)

    I think I will have to give up my sales careeer due to athritis in my jaw which makes it very painful to talk all day.

    However I dont know what else to do.

    Ive done sales for 6/7 years and have never done anything else.

    I did journalism in college but cant afford to bank my whole career on that full time.

    I'm thinking social care or counselling maybe...?

    Does anyone know if there is a something like a career advisor or something i can go to, to maybe do some tests to see what I would be best suited to?

    no way.

    I would go stir crazy.

    I want something with people as I am a people person but something that I wont have to talk all day in either

    Carer could be a good choice then. Counselling would be more talking.

    Great idea, you get to be around people all day without actually talking.

    I'd sugegst Mickey or Minnie though over Pluto, the kids will love you more. :pac:

    Arthritis in jaw?
    So many jokes, so little space, must be nice to people and resist urge to laugh.

    For informative answers, go to jobs.

    I suggest self-employed Landscape Gardener.

    You should know by now that nothing is taken fully seriously in After Hours. Apart from roma gypsies, skangers on the luas, and Polish people.

    Professional internet spammer. All you need is one reply from the millions of spam mails and bingo! You just have to worry about the FBI or Interpol coming after you.

    I was going to suggest try being a hooker but then I realised your jaw problems might interfere with that...

    Obvious solution. Sell things to deaf people.

    Maybe get involved in online marketing with a PR company specialising in New Media.

    Or else a plasterer.
