18k a year is sh
te no matter how you dress it up, i earn not far off double that wiring councill houses in wigan and putting in alarms for little old ladies but i'm still going for it.
Why i hear you ask?? cos its possibly the best chance of getting a job we'll come across ,barr ctc , and in years to come we'll laugh about worrying bout the money cos we'll all be soo rich.
Will i regret it even if i'm 60k out of pocket????
Not if in 5 years time i'm cruising over the med in a white shirt instead of being covered in plaster and flea bites from a crack den in the slums of lancashire ,ripping up floorboards!
Those who want this job bad enough will bite the bullet and admit were being shafted but you've gotta live the dream
