wwo_baltpiker, finding ulysses and mtalon_wwo are saying here: the initial panic has stopped and people are getting organised. Here, the new Brown government's really kicking on and getting things done towards organising Britain. Greg next door sniffed when I told him that. He said Brown's just trying to start his legacy.still, I think it's like
fabulareine says. Why can't this be a good thing, in the end? I mean, you hear so much bad stuff, but eventually this is gonna mean the end of global warming, the end of all those stiffs that work 12 hour jobs in meaningless offices shuffling paper - my kind of nightmare! I'm 16 next week and I'll have to start picking my choices for A-levels, assuming the college is open next year. What I choose will decide what career I go into. So I ask anyone reading, what careers should I think about? With the world changing so much and all the traditional money-making jobs disappearing, how can I best plan for my life? I don't know what I want to do but I want to be free, not attached to some vast company where no-one knows my name.As a teenager emerging into this new world, what are my options? How can I be productive?

I wouldn't say that office jobs are going anywhere; quite the contrary, I'm now much more familiar with the ins and outs of *my* office, especially when I helped rearrange furniture so people could bunk on fold-up cots instead of going home at night. :-) Although, I ought to point out that my life, and the lives of people around me, are much more different from what they were than many of our fellow WWO bloggers. But I, and you, are young, resilient, and adaptable, and we can adjust to nearly anything, including totally new social arrangements, like rotating flats to save on power. We're going to have to come up with much more of that sort of thing, if we plan to make it through next winter, much less the long term.
So I'd recommend that you stick things through, and do well on your A-levels. Study engineering or chemistry, if you want to help directly solve the world's problems, or if you think society will collapse and you'll need practical skills.
