I did Government & Politics at A Level. Again though, I'm bad with dates and names, which doesn't make for the best of that type of subject.

Could just get a job. Or help me build my global Ecommerce Empire.

True. If you were to get in to comedy in what way would you like to be involved?

:)

Researcher, historian, something like that. Not quite so much with the writing, performing or production, which seems to be what runner-type positions generally graduate to.

Well, that's an option, if I can find something.

How big is it at the moment Gav?

History keeps appearing in your answers Aaron.

Mm. I did that at A Level too. Although only in the first year, when the subjects were fecking dull: medicine, the American West, and womens' suffrage.

But what a great career progression awaits you...

RUNNER ---> PRODUCTION ASSISTANT ---> JUNIOR PRODUCER ---> COCAINE DEALER ---> SENIOR PRODUCER ---> LIVE-IN "HOUSE BOY"/"NIECE" ---> HEAD OF BBC COMEDY!!

Laughing out loud

You're not at all. You give me running commentaries of every street and old building in London. Whether I want them or not. ;)
There must be a London/Victorian History course you can find somewhere...

I did when I was at uni the first time: now I ... well, I'm struggling to have any interest in it at all.

That was a four year course.
With a postgrad course of one or two years you're far more likely to still like it at the end!

I can see why you're attracted to such a dynamic, decisive alpha male, zooo. He's going places!

Only stuff I recognise! I don't know when they were built!

The answer is to 'find yourself'. Popular ways to achieve this involve dropping acid, travelling the world and finding religion, although I'd advise against the latter.

Heh! Yeah. Finding myself is what I need to do... But the how is the big question.

Just to throw a completely different discipline into the mix, something I've also looked at and thought about is woodwork, perhaps particularly furniture restoration.
