National Minimum Wage is £5.73/hour if you're 22 or older (works out at about £11,000/year full time, perhaps a little under.) I know, as a student nearing graduation, I'm on it.

Trust me when I say, May-June 2009 is the worst time to graduate, which is when I will. It's so bad that I'm considering going ahead and completing a Masters (possibly in business or management to supplement my Computer Science BSc); something I never ever intended to do. But, I'd rather make myself more marketable and shelter myself from the economic storm for a further year, than grind NMW for the unforeseeable future.

For any professional to be offered National Minimum Wage is a disgusting and nightmarish situation. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
