violet Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 those stats are misleading...they've taken the average...so people who are at the bottom are diluting the top earners.my brother is going to be a lawyer and hes going to be starting on £40k when he finishes his LPC...and that can increase in his second year (depending on how good hes doing) to anything up to £75k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em Dott Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 dont kno why im suprisedanother reason not to be a civil engineermy cousins just finishin his degree in aeronauticalhes gna be ballin come nex yrI honestly don't believe that's the wage for a civil engineer. These people are key in the development of buildings and are getting that? I seriously don't believe it.You know what, my dad was talking to me about trying to get involved in the stock exchange. He was telling me it doesn't necessarily matter what course you do, if you are hard working and make them money they will take you on. I am really interested in it, but I don't want to get my hopes up when it's not feasible. Do you need certain courses? Any sort of requirements? I'm trying to do research on teh net, and if I get even the slightest idea it's possible, I'm looking at that area of work for after graduation.
