The Official "How Much I Earn/What Job I Do" Information Thread

I'm on the cusp of a complete occupational and educational change. I will be, by the end of this year (interracial notice has been given), leaving full time commercial employment and joining the vastly underpaid world of academia.

Years of p/t study finally pays off. I'm pooing myself if I'm honest though....

That must really suck, not being able to get a job after all that work gaining the degree.

Good luck to you and I hope you can find something more commensurate with your degree soon. :)

Just saw this thread, thought I'd update mine as its now old (thank god) and I'm out of Asda.

I volunteered until March when a job came up to work as a science technician at the college I was at. I now work in a multimillion pound state of the art building supporting the science and new nuclear curriculum. In less than 6 months I've become first aid trained, trained to maintain microscopes, given funding to study a nuclear awareness course, will be trained as a fire warden next week, and I'm about to train as a mentor for a new science technician we've employed!

Pay isn't fantastic (aprox 15k) but the job opportunities and experience are making up for that. Plus 1 day of holiday deducted for 2 weeks at christmas :D

How does one get involved in Oil & Gas? At best I'll have a Business Degree from a reputable university.

Is it a very tough field?

Depends what you want to do, most of the fields tend to be technical (so require some form of engineering or science degree) but that's not to say there aren't business based roles.

Google oil and gas jobs and knock yourself out :p

I was actually looking for a job like that, has a lot of progression. Retail is limited, I'm a manager and only on £7.50/hour lol...
