Jake Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I love these threads, chap posts asking how much people think he should be paid for a particular role and everyone sees it as an excuse to post how much they get paid for completely different ones. Sorry, I didn't mean to hi-jack and wasn't bragging (I don't think it's clever to earn a bit more but have zero job security). I was just saying that £330 per week seems very poor for a job that requires a university degree when spuds like me with no qualifications can earn a fair bit more. The thread-drift continued because I answered questions people then asked me. Perhaps I should have ignored them? Can't win either way.

Pot Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 New thread perhaps? Possibly, but if people said what they did in this thread, it'd combine the two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely, as a fellow uneducated scumbag I also take pride in the fact that I'm doing OK but at the same time these threads alway turn into a p*ssing competition so I thought I'd chirp up before they got carried away. Your input was valid enough IMO, it didn't help the chap but it did ridicule a student type so it's fine by me I'm permanent and I don't have any job security to speak of, I think that kind of thing is pretty hard to get these days in IT.

Sheefa Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Possibly, but if people said what they did in this thread, it'd combine the two... OK. I work for a crap company, doing a boring job on a not so good wage which has just increased but I hate it so am leaving anyway for something more exciting. Enough detail mate?

The thread-drift continued because I answered questions people then asked me. Perhaps I should have ignored them? Can't win either way. Hmmm, I'm with you here... I'm an IT bod as well, and I'm doing well I feel..but like you, I've done it the hard way...dropped out of uni and slogged it. I would have just figured a uni-grad would earn slightly more. Or is it because the IT field is just skewed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, as that doesn't help people on the thread - They don't know what you do... (Or should this get moved to members if we're going to start mentioning companies, or is it only Volvo Drivers who worry about that sort of thing? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way "executive" is being used more and more these days to make jobs sound like they are important Straight out of college / uni and into an "executive" role - they can live like kings! KINGS!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
