So you are happy that in 3 years of working full time you will have earned £40k?
I bet after 5 years you'd be happy that it would be £60k, after 10 years £130k?

I'd prefer to be a student, with better earning potential and more knowledge tbh...

I think either Asim's expectations are way off, or his maths is.

I'm not saying you need a degree to live well off, but partying over a 12k salary compared to graduate pay, and thinking you're better off dropping out is a bit lolworthy imo.

The point that a good degree can see you earn a hell of a lot more than £12k a year. Hell, I was getting the same working for a call centre. Not exactly MI5.

I don't understand why you're all suddenly so concerned about my career.

University wasn't for me. The course was boring as hell. I mean why stress myself with Uni for three years when I can jump into a career right now?

This is my first ever job at 19 years old ffs. Why do you all seem to think I'll be stuck at 12K for the rest of my life?

I'm a trainee at the moment. I help a team of 3 people in managing and setting up exchange/servers and networks for over 30 clients. They said the second I can do the stuff solo, they'll put me straight to at least 20K. It could be in a few months or a year, up to me how quickly I decide to train myself.

I'll be absolutely chuffed with 20K/year at just 20. I don't give a **** if you're not happy with it. I'm not looking for advice.

So it's gonna take you years to get to that level? Should have stayed in education, I mean, shouldn't have been caught stealing!

How many graduates out of the hundreds of thousands who attend University actually manage to get a graduate job with a starting salary of £23k+ (Or whatever the average is).

Robocain wins by a country mile. Any time the topic was bumped to the front page again but the OP hadn't posted an update, I felt a bit disappointed.

We have a fresh contender that albeit young has plenty of potential coming up on the inside rail with only days to go...

Asim you're are doing the right thing man.

Can't beat experience and the real world of working life and responsibility.

Exactly. Morba seems to think every single graduate can just jump straight into a £50k job just by showing their degree. He doesn't understand that after three years of working in the field, one can gain all the experience nessacary to recieve more than what your average graduate will earn in their first job.

My brother has a Masters from KCL and he's still looking for work.

There is just no argument. I'm not looking for advice. But Morba, you just keep trying to create an argument.

Assumptions, you suck at them

You have to be a good bengali boy Asim and follow your parents wishes . so they can boost about you to other bengalis parents.

You have to protect the family honour.

lool

edit: out of interest what degree does your brother have?

 

[Morba]

No argument asim, you bring this information to a discussion forum and seem to not like people discussing it.

 

[asim18]

BSc in Clinical Science
MSc in Neuroscience

Oh and I'm not Bengali btw

 

[Stewy]

That one about that guy who boasted about earning 12k a year... oh wait...

Mother is losing the plot was good fun tbh, what a tool.

This thread has turned somewhat epic with Asims '40k in 3 years' philosophy

It's not epic just plain boring.

 

[geekyEd]

robocain - just epic from january up until this very day.

 

[jaybee]

I don't get the robocain thing...a guy with a lot of time on his hands makes a model robot from robocop? Is that it?

More a matter of the love and detail put into the hundreds of handmade parts that makes it epic. Its a project that many would love to do but very few would be able to pull it off. Talent, dedication and love shine through.

the thread that went something like 'hi all I'm back' with the op who no one knew was gone

That thread where everyone stole Khaaan!'s sig.
