    Maybe you are right, I wait to see what happens when mates of mine leave uni and I just wait to see if they can earn 100 quid a day in IT with no experience whatsoever, like they think they can.

    Phil, why spend even 10 seconds of your time concerning yourself with what your mates earn? Spend every second you have on concentrating how to improve YOUR lot.

    By constantly comparing yourself to others you just miss opportunity after opportunity to advance your own career by perhaps taking some specialist course, or learn a bit more about what jobs are going and what you can do to move on.

    Whinging about where you are now, and where your mates might be, is not going to do any good to you. But we have been here many times before, haven't we phil. :rolleyes:
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    If you know that, why do you keep going over these things when you see that we are all poking fun at you?

    If you know that, why don't you actually DO something about it?

    You can see why, can't you, that so many here think you are just a wind up and not real at all?

    If you ARE real, go out in your spare time and learn to live a full life, which is what will make you truly employable, rather than just an academic degree totally unrelated to everyday life. You will learn what jobs are out there, how people do them, what opportunities there are. Going from home to the library and back home to your computer and on and on same old same old, will not open your eyes (let alone mind) to what's out there for a 22 year old.

    Because I am frightened of spending 3 or 4 k on a course which might not benefit me.

    I need to learn to take a chance with money.

    Well you won't achieve anything by discussing the same things over and over and over and over and over...
