PA to Private Banker. Love my job, people are really nice, pay is good, so don't know why I've got myself into such a financial mess.....but aiming to get it out of it! Very interesting post.

PA to the Head of Department at a Utilities company - I love my job and it's paid relatively well for a PA job considering I'm based in the Midlands where salaries are notoriously low for admin-type work!

Tax Adviser! Yawn!

That's what people think anyway but it's actually really interesting and as I do personal tax I get to be nosey about other peoples finances!!!

I was a part-time Masters student before Xmas but decided to take a year out because I wasn't enjoying and couldn't see a future in it (plus I think my learning capacity was up!).

Hence taking a year out of education and currently working as a weekend till monkey in HMV (been there for nearly 4 years) and temping as a receptionist/admin person when the work is available.

Ooh what an interesting read! I'm a project co-ordinator in a university, love working for the uni but not so much the department so my aim for 2008 is to find something that I have more of a passion for, but still in a uni environment...

Just posting out of my own curiosity....

What do people do for a living on here? You don't have to be specific its just i currently work full time but am thinking of jacking it in and going back to college in September so just wondered how all you amazing people cope with your monies if you work/don't work/study etc?

its exhausting but i work full time and go to uni full time and i'm actually better off (what with the uni loans) than i will be when i finish this year (cept i'm planning on asking for a raise when i get my degree so hopefully can get up to a similar income as i'm on now from everything)

I had an interview with the Princes Trust and they didn't hire me because they said I was over qualified.

This is shorthand for: We're not employing you, because we have managers who are (insecure/too realistic)* about their own abilities.

Distinct lack of joiners, plumbers etc on this list! does this mean that we should encourage kids towards trades and they won't have money problems or are we just lucky because we've owned up to ours??:undecided
