Re: Jobs
I finished Uni this year (well, now since my last exam was on Friday). Looking into Web Developement positions, quite hard to find as a Junior, especially in .Net. But when I eventually, hopefully, do. That will pay pretty good with good prospects

Are you part-time? Money isn't everything, happiness and health are far more important. So they say.

Well, Maybe. Always got to be looking out at new languages to learn and new technologys otherwise could be made redundant in something fast moving like IT.

Re: Jobs
As I work it out, a person working 37.25 hours per week on the minimum wage for the 18-21 age group
http://www.berr.gov.uk/employment/pa...age/index.html
would be earning just under £9000 p.a.
- so if Wayne is part time he is doing ok

Re: Jobs
The best job is one which has a reasonable wage and conditions,one in which there is variety and change and you have a certain amount of control over what goes on. Job where you self manage are good i.e service type rolls where you go to different locations to carry out work for customers. IT ? I thought that was busted these days? The only well paid IT jobs are high level ones such as consultancy and programming etc etc.
Self emplyed? well it has its upsides and downsides. To bbe honest, if i ever got made redundant,i'd work in the black economy.

Microsoft / Novell Second Line support £20 - £30k
Server / Unix bods - £30 - £40k
(add 5-10k on if you are a manager of the above).
