Ice hockey, which is my dream job, but at the same time is a very unstable job.

Playing in england doesnt pay much, most of my money comes from my involvement in the algerian national programme, salary changes depending on the level of government funding and corporate sponsorship for that particular year.

Playing in UAE was the best, id say the cost of my accommodation, food, chauffeur driven car, alone would of been over any average salary in the UK.

its not that suprising seeing as people are generally over qualified these days. too many people with experience, skills and qualifications and there are only so many positions and sums of money to be earned. so naturally the "average" changes.

its like tryna climb a ladder to get to the top but then the ladder slides down and the lower rungs are knocked off and higher rungs added. you may have climbed many steps but your not that far off the ground now.

yeah that's a great analogy

very depressing though. especially as i've no desire to do a masters, but a 2:1 (fingers crossed) BSc is barely better than A-lvels these days

@ M12, I've the same mentality, but the reality is a LOT of people with GOOD undergraduate degrees end up working for the first 2 or 3 years after their degree (at least) for very little pay. people with a 2:1 in law from top 10 unis go into 12 grand a year jobs which are basically running errands.

What on earth are you talking about

the average pay for a london law firms is like £31,000 a year for the first two years of your training contract, then in the third year when you're actually a lawyer it jumps to around £60,000

outside london the average pay for a training contract is about £22,000.

foreign london based (especially american ones) lawfirms are never lower than £70,000 (the first 2 years are around £40g)

and tbh it doesn't even matter what uni you go to as long as u have a good academic record and score well in interviews and on reasoning tests

honestly dn't knw why u felt to lie like that

EDIT

it just occured to me u were probably referring to law students that go into non-law related work

or maybe even barristers (i dn't knw sh*t about that avenue)

fair enough

lol yeah exactly

i meant graduates who weren't recruited by/didn't want to work for law firms and trainee barristers (i'm not 100% on how much they get but it's not much at all)

i also should have said you'll find people with a 2:1 in law"

are u mocking me

eh?

no, i'm saying i should have made it more clear what i was talking about

when it comes to law, getting work at the top law firms it does matter what uni u went to. allow coming with a first from london met thinking you can geta job at norton rose. when they have redbrick uni grads fighting for a place there.

/

last yr i declared i earned 28.800

what redbrick uni is in the top ten?

i thought it went without saying that i meant you don't have to go to one of the best universities, just a good one

but even then i know a girl that went de montford that works in allen and overy (2nd biggest law firm in london)

so i guess for sum it really doesn't matter

once again, what exactly is she doing? theres many other jobs available in the biggest law firms, then there's being employed as a trainee solicitor.

why would i mention her if she wasn't a practicing solicitor?

what would be the relevance if she was a paralegal or sumthin like that?

yes, she is a lawyer. She finnished her training contract last year and is now a practicing solicitor at allen and ovary in london
