bladerunner Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 On a real though, if you're good with money, 20K p/a can go a long way.If you have a partner and he/she is also earning a national average salary (20k) you can really be comfortable for life.

The Somalian Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Qualifitcations mean NOTHING unless the job you want requires them...LawyerDoctorVetetcEverything else is experience and showing potential.I've got just my GCSE's and do more than alright.this is so true I have no a-c gcse's (cuss me i dont care)and everyone i work with baring a few have degreesjust have to gain the experince show that you are willing to sucseedand what kills it is i dont talk about my qualifications but they all seem to think i have my degree i wont tell them otherwisei did not even put down my qualifications on the application form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforeseen costs will be factored into anyone's budget who is good with money.I'm speaking with real life experience of living in London having been on CONSIDERABLY less than that.

revit Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 erm Im thinking banking may not be a good move anymore!I think your starting wage does depend on your qualifications- experience can not get you the graduate jobs! Your wage after that probably reflects the potential you show on the job. However loads of people have degrees now.... making graduate posts ultra competative. And a degree lower than a 2:1 is point-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
