HAHA too easy.
ok, when I meant 18k admin job i did mean IN LONDON. You do understand this logic am I correct? 18K IN London is minimum. You can not rent and live comfortably in London below 18K.
paying 400 a month tax was used as an example, assuming i gain 18k per annum job. tax.
care to be owned aagin in the next argument?
cuckoo land my !!! lady.
If I wanted 18k job outside London then yes I would be woefully wrong.
18k is not the 'minimum in London at all', I've seen admin jobs advertised for lower than that. Just because you cannot rent and live comfortably doesn't mean you are entitled to that salary. I cannot rent on my current salary so I live at home.
You have an enormous sense of entitlement and I strongly suggest you wake up.
Also re: your sister- not only is that not the norm but I imagine this job was on a training scheme or similar. If you haven't got experience the general rule is that you can expect to start at the bottom.0 -

No it wasnt on a training scheme. she works for a company called 'pricespective'. a medical company who price medication, as the name states.
Yes she was very lucky with that. Noone else on her course got the same luck as their still unemployed too, even with biochemistry degrees!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Furthermore, instead of going to university and making an effort, I could of been a moron and not bothered by messing about in school.
Erm, are you saying that people who don't go to universary are morons?“Don't do it! Stay away from your potential. You'll mess it up, it's potential, leave it. Anyway, it's like your bank balance - you always have a lot less than you think.”

Obviously not. The morons I was speaking of were the 'morons' who messed about in school.

I messed around in school and I'm in DebrettsI didn't go to university, due to the aforesaid 'messing around in school', but I earn enough to wave goodbye to 40% of it in taxes.
One thing you're going to learn quickly out there is not to make sweeping generalisations. I've known someone with an IQ of over 160 and a Doctorate who worked as a brickie....because he wanted to and he enjoyed it. I've also known people who've been bang sure that their degree meant they were more capable than those around them who didn't have one..and then end up getting released from their jobs for poor performance.
I do hope you find whatever job you are looking for, but be very, very careful about pigeon holing people because it's almost guaranteed you'll be caught off guard if you do.“Don't do it!
