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

We're sort-of self-selecting as we are posting on a computer-based forum, with most of us having non-manual jobs which involve the use of a computer.

Schools teaching the use of a computer are just recent inventions - people who've had that education, are probably young enough to be still deepening their debt...

I work full time as a sales consultant for an independent furniture company.
And I am a Mum, and a wife and also a consultant for Virgin Vie at Home.

I know a few self employed business tradesmen though and they are all online as they use computers for advertising, accounting etc. most folks are on-line these days - even my aged folks.

Skint_Spice hit the nail on the head up there. I think trades will be the degrees of the future. There's not enough plumbers, electricians, plasterers, joiners, etc around. Gone are the days of apprenticeships. My nephew is a tiler and he's raking it in.

I'm a community carer, pay is dreadful but I love my job and look forward to going to work each day, I don't think many people can say that about their jobs.

I'm quite good at tiling actually, maybe I should change jobs? murder on the nails though!

I'm a CPN, and I mostly love it.

Unfortunately, the trades are very cyclic. After the housing boom is over - then what?
