I have decided to take a 3-month course at Edinburgh University in Scotland which will round my studies off so that I can eventually get a decent, well-paid job.

During that time I will have to work to keep up payments for school and I have been speaking to a couple of companies in the area that are linked to the University. One is a company that provides office space in Edinburgh and the other is a research lab, concentrating on fiscal studies.

Edinburgh has such a great financial background that it would be silly for me to turn the research position down, as I am sure that it would make me some great contacts for the future.

With all of the financial studies that I will be doing, I think it may be overkill for me to take a financial part time job, so I am going to do something different and take up the position with the company that will teach me about the wonderful world of office space.

It’s different, I suppose!

I came across a site yesterday that looked like a clone of gumtree, but was just for office space classifieds.

I thought that this was a bit strange, as I didn’t think that it was a good enough subject to have a whole classified ads-style site on its own.

It seems to be pretty well used though - there are plenty of advertisements on there, and there are always niches in almost any subject matter that you can think of, but this seemed to be extremely niche.

Here is an example Manchester office space classified ad from the site. The ad itself even doesn’t have that much to say for itself, but someone, somewhere, must be interested!

Each to their own, I say.
