That sounds interesting, what does that conclude of? what did you study a level?

I started work in Pizza Hut in the kitchens, went on to work in the Brewers Fayre chain, On to be an IT Administrator and now work as an Issue Management Consultant for a global Card Payments company. Trust me, it pays a lot less than the fancy title would suggest :p

Are you sure about that? Lol

oh, I am sure!

in the current climate, its not a bad pay, but compared to the same title in other companies, we are only being paid about 65% the going rate.

Initially leaving my a levels I worked in the financial industry as an account negotiator - so if you ever have financial troubles or questions don't hesitate to ask, lol

If you can negotiate my debts down to zero that would be appreciated!

I'm a Security Officer for DPD, so my employer is the French Post Office lol

What do you do, ride along with the driver and beat anyone who comes out to try and get there parcel to early? ;)

Yep I work for the french mate, my job is varied, carry out searches on people, cars, trailers, units drug and alcohol tests, book vehicles in an out deal with visitors and shed load of other stuff, it's not a normal security job where you just stand there doing nothing it's quite a skilled job which luckily for me pays very well, I pick up pretty much double what a normal security job pays

I don't think you would want to put plasterboard or tools in your rs. Lol.

My uncle is a plasterer and he used his focus for work and battered it within a year. Lol.

Its pretty boring to be honest mate, I check through quality paperwork all day for incoming materials for BA and insure they conform to required specs.

I studied double award science and geography at A-level, I did a year at uni studying Clinical physiology, but decided after completing my first year it wasn't for me. Probably should of stuck at it would be earning a mint! But sure thats life.

Got my ford focus thats all that matters!

Started off as a Plumber, got fully qualified with extra tickets.

Then done a load of tiling and kitchen fitting.

Now work as a timber frame builder for a local company Tymba Systems.

Not too bad, although I produce the frames in the factory and go to site every so often.
