Ok-my 2p worth. I have many friends who are temping in the city for like £12-25p.h. Go via an agency register yourself as a contractor and cream the banks and financial institutions who don't care how many hours you do. A few people I know are doing 60 hrs per week and creaming near £1000 a week plus. Respectable job, white collor (maybe ever career progression). Can't go wrong. Errrr.....north sea fisherman?? £50,000 in 3 months? Send me the application please!
