Go for it.
But remember the Labour Market is tight, very tight.

Once you apply for some jobs, deal with some employers/agencies, see what the competition is, you'll really know what to expect.

Maybe even £16-£20K.

Everyone else can get decent jobs so it can not be that hard.

oh wow. :rolleyes:

my best mate has her last final exam this afternoon. i haven't seen her since January despite her living just down the road from me because she's had so much work to do.

let's hope the odd hour here and there is enough for you (doubt it, but there you go).

But she is not on a couse that kills her from the inside like I am, is she?

The vast majority of people who leave university. Just about everyone I know has had interviews for Banks, city Jobs, Law firms, pogrraduate qualifications.

oh, will you get over yourself. there are no medals for self-pity you know.

her course has been very hard. she left school at 16 with no qualifications, has 2 children (one with special needs) and bills to pay. she struggled with the academic demands of the access year, but passed with flying colours, and has not given up once on her course. i have never been so proud of anyone, ever.

you have no worries at all in comparison, and you're pi55ing your opportunities up the wall.

I think you're talking rubbish here regarding jobs (forget abot postgrad studies, as they can be a cop out)

I don't believe your friends are finding it easy.
