writes: Hi guys, I'm fed up. I'm 22, I graduated from university last summer, struggled to get a job. I am now working, I love the work, but the hours and money are terrible. I work harder than most people in the office, but I'm paid the least. I can't afford to move out so I'm stuck at home with my parents. All I seem to do is work, I work extra hours, I work when I'm on annual leave (from home). When I am not there I feel I have no purpose. Since leaving university a lot of people have moved away/gone travelling. I would say I have two good friends at the minute, but I'm always second choice. I'm fed up, I feel I'm stagnating and I don't know what to do...

Give yourself a break!!! Your still young, youre educated. You may be in a job youre not happy with at the moment but treat it as a stepping stone to something better, a learning curve.
You could always take a gap year and go travelling. You say you have a couple of friends but why not go alone? I went travelling australia by myself a couple of years back and I can honestly say it was the best thing Ive ever done. I went for a year and I didnt want to come back! And although I went alone, once I was out there I made so many friends. There is a website -gapyear.co.uk - for all the info plus you can even meet people to travel with through the site!
Good luck x
