      I think you should look for straight manual labor , as your typing and English skills don't see good enough to do anything technical. Regardz Colin J Davies

        If you are not doing something you like, you will not be dedicating yourself to something that others will respect you for. Most will be good paying if you are good and not if you are just getting by. If you want money become a lawyer. If you want respect do not. "I will find a new sig someday."

If you love what you do and get to "play" all day when people pay you for it, now that's a job! Imagine getting to play $200,000 video games everyday... :cool::cool::cool: - Nitron

                Actually, don't know for sure but I bet an intellectual property lawyer makes the most of them all. :-D Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

                  Short-term web programming jobs seem to pay the most for this field of work round this part of the country. They typically last about three months and they pay about £20 an hour 40h/w. Whilst that isn't especially high for the job once you get into a city like London, in this small part of the world that is about 80% more than the normal paying wage for a full time job in this field. I haven't been looking at the other fields so I can't talk about them, sorry.

                  'Real' programming gets you more - while the market is somewhat suppressed atm, during the last peak in the later half of 2000 temporary Java positions were commanding rates iro £60/hr - C++ even managed around £50. Now, however, it's around the mid to high 30's for both. Phil

                      I'll second that one... Improve your (not ur) skills - and the rest will hopefully come by itself. Sorry. - this is NOT a signature !

                        Mid to high 30's is considered a £200K a year job with a company car and house round this part of the country (Devon and Cornwall), unless I've been looking in totally the wrong direction. :(( :~
