Where do these 20K+ jobs exist, cos I've never bloody found one?

I don't know why more people don't do law - it's relatively easy to study at university and at law school, you can arrange to get the law school fees paid for you before you even ever go there, and once you've started work there's no bother about promotion ever. For every year more qualified you are, you get paid more. How's that for an easy ride?

Mali - does Mrs Mali not know?

London's a good place to start.

I I'm still fucking amazed at how poorly scientist are paid in this country,

Well, it isn't, so there.

The study of law combines politics, philosophy, pedantry and arguing. What's not to like?

The practice of law does rather depend on what area you work in though. Tax lawyers, for instance, may as well be accountants.

Yes, but 20k in London is like 10k in Preston, isn't it?

Lots of people do Law? At least they do here at Manchester. Also; I hear it's a massively shit world, especial if you work for the big corporations. You have to work 12 hours a day and be willing to stab every other sod in the back for months on end, only to find out you didn't get that promotion, then you jump off the top of the building, etc.

my sister is a lawyer, and she looks pretty much bored all the time.

true that

This'd be whilst you're talking to her, yeah?

fuck off.....dick

Joking, dude.

Precisely, and you have to work twice as many hours (including commuting) to earn it. Why bother?

London's a good place to start.

Depends where you live, and what you do with your time.
A good chum lived in Bedford and paid £400 a month rent for a two-bed house. He earned £30k in London (as opposed to doing the same job in nearby St. Neots for £19k), and his commute was an hour, each way.

BTW, congrats CUS I'm not jealous, honestly. Pleased for you. I'm just from the North West, whinging about being broke is a natural, instinctive reaction

Heh, well, I started the thread mostly just out of sheer 'Woohoo!' glee, but now I feel a bit embarassed. As for being broke - mate, I was born in the Black Country, right as Thatcher was elected in. I'm fuckin' used to there being no money, no jobs, and everyone miserable and depressed.

Still, could be worse, I could be from Oop North.

You are from oop North.

Brummies are not proper Northern, they're Shandy drinking woofters like the rest of you Southern Hob Knobers.

Where has my (previous) reply to this thread gone?

I'm not a Brummie! I er, am drinking Shandy presently however. 4 realz.

Er, dunno. There's been no moderating of this thread, according to the logs. Did you put it in the wrong thread?

I do keep on clicking on the "new topic" button instead of "post reply" button, so maybe I did that, but didn't put a "subject" in so it got lost somehwere.

Oh well.

Is there a way I can see a list of posts I have made?

Top right, embarassement-inducingly apparent.

Brighton's nice, but I reckon it's as costly to live there as in London.

My sister had a friend who were paying £80 a month rent on a three bedroom cottage in central Wales somewhere, with a big garden. However, there were no jobs about that weren't working in the leek mines or singing in choirs, so it was hard to earn cash.

Nested quotes ftw, RuySan.

Here, have a Hoff:

The new topic button shouldn't appear inside a thread. It's silly.

All forums have it.
I can get rid of it, if you want?

Yup. There's a link in your profile.
