Hmm well clearing £1700 isn't bad at all. I work at a university, I have a PhD and clear an overwhelming £1200 a month, which for London let's face it isn't much. I think PSCOs for the Met Police earn more than me. But then this just is a reflection of how highly the British regard their education system I guess.... as a result I'm waiting for my training date to be cabin crew as I probably will earn more and it will make a nice change
