Im a driver/valet...get to drive some nice cars but I do have a degree in Business Computing. I am lacking experience so effectively im a graduate without a job.

IMO get an apprentice position and they will be investing in you. The salary may start off low but will increase much quicker than what I am doing. Still looking for a career move myself!!

My 2p worth on the Police issue, a mate of mine was paid to sat on the moors all day waiting for a lad on an off road motorbike because its where his superior lives. Ridiculous, in that aspect I dont agree but as the officer on here has said, if something happens towards the end of your shift then there is nothing you can do about that. Cant pack up and go home.

Maintenance engineer at a dairy. The company takes in lots of milk and turns it into skimmed milk powder and butter. Near on 2.5 million litres a day in the busy part of the year and 1.5 million litres of water down the drain that's evaporated from the milk. I'm electrical bias, but do a bit of most stuff, working on my own a fair bit.

Building datsuns can't be too bad. What about trying to wash a car when it's -7 outside! Haha!

Full time copper for me too......the bullseye on Cameron's fund cut dart board :stupid:  :fighting: :mad:



Dont want to get political but this overtime thing is a joke, i read one chap earned £66k in overtime alone last year.. Just think about the 18 year old squaddie on £14-16k in afghanistan right now dodging bullets and iod's every day does he get paid for overtime.. No, it kind of puts your argument in perspective. You've been getting paid far too much for too long and its time to get real, all imo of course

And you believe what the papers say?
If a police officer got £66000 in overtime then he must have worked for the money. Basic maximum pay for a PC is £36000. If he got paid at double time for all of it he would have had to work 40 extra hours a week. thats 80 hours total a week.  :evilgrin:

Guess what i do !

Yes thats right a Police Officer too  :innocent:
