Re: Jobs
IT - vastly overpaid, usually based on experience and ability, not qualifications.

Re: Jobs
Your own business - you have no one to answer to, no employers, stupid rules "you cant wipe your backside" without being asked why!
I love being my own boss, I can work comfortably at home. Its all good!

Re: Jobs
I was going to make a comment here about the best kind of job but it's smutty.
suffice to say, it rhymes with 'low'.

Re: Jobs
All joking aside, the best job is the one that you enjoy.
If you can find a job that you actually like doing, then you're a lucky person.
Find one you enjoy, that pays well, and you're incredibly lucky....
Find one that you enjoy, pays well, and lets you tell everyone else how stupid they are, then you're an IT contractor

IT jobs pay very little these days as too many people are into that sort of stuff now...
I remember in the 90s you'd get 30k easily...now alot of IT work is minimum wage.

Re: Jobs
There seems to be a shortage of new programmers coming along so perhaps that one area that will see a rise in wages.

That's true. A lot of people in IT are idiots. The majority of young people are trying to get in to game design, that section is over crowded and low pay. If you want high pay in IT then you've got to go for the jobs that are short of staff and need them ASAP, pay will be a lot better.

Painting the lines on roads - I seem to remember a story about them being paid over £60k, hardly any stress, and once you know the basics not too difficult.

Re: Jobs
I'm in IT - I'm currently in the support side of it. If you want loadsa money in IT you need to either be in programming, database admin or network management.
