Go to a very top uni such as Camebridge and even fantastic grades, say A* A* A A and you will get nothing.
If this is a bragging thread, I'm getting all my course fees and costs paid, £700 per month in my back pocket and bonuses at the end of each college phase over the next three years.
But that's 'cos I'm training to do a job nowhere near enough people want to do.
I'm currently a Cadet working towards becoming an Engineering Officer in the Merchant Navy. Apparently a lot of people are put off by being away for upto 4 months at a time, but you also get the same length of time off. Being "youngish",free and single, it doesn't phase me.
Hmm wages don't seem too bad if my search is accurate
- Newly qualified engineering officers earn around £25,000 a year.
- Experienced officers earn from £26,000 to £50,000.
The time away would put me off too though :/
I get £16k a year and get to go to the 6th best university in the world (according to the QS ranking). So nerrrrrrrr to you all.
QS, which Cambridge is top of, so don't worry.
