Well, it had to happen sometime! I have now recieved a job offer from a company called Protiviti as a computer forensics Consultant in their London office.

I've been waiting for a while to get the the formalities sorted out, and will be starting on the 18th September.

This job is the reason I went to University, even though the forensics module was unavailable in my final year, I have managed to get this position where I will be given good quality training and grear experience. I intend to pursue further education in this area on a part-time basis (MSc?) once I get settled into the job!

For those that don't know, I was offered a position at University College Dublin on a funded structured PhD course, in pervasive computing, because of my final year project which included elements of pervasive computing. I chose instead to opt for my original plan, and I am confident that I will not regret my chosen course!

Laura has also made a bit of a career choice, and has decided to study towards a nursing qualification, and intends to enrol on a course at Hastings College, or West Kent College within the next week. This will determine where we live for the next academic year. The plan is to stay in Hastings so that she can still work 'bank' shifts with the NHS to support herself.

I am officially the last one of the Harcourt place household to get a job!
