a job in computing

[Psyk]

it's whatever floats your boat though mate.
There was an ad on tv not so long ago about being a games designer, 30k a year. So if your doing graphics maybe game design is something to look into (unless thats a dead end job aswell now).

Is that the computeach advert? Complete load of BS. You're not going to walk into a 30k games designer job with nothing but a crap bit of paper. Games design sounds like something very difficult to get into since there aren't many good and relevent qualifications (games design degrees aren't considered very good) and the only thing that really matters is having a good portfolio of work. It's really something that is only worth considering if you have a strong passion for it.
