why do you lot complain whens theres good jobs out there

[Asterix]

Just wondered, I have noticed a lot of people on here who are always like o i hate pharmacy, o i get low pay. well on http://www.pjcareers.com/ most of the jobs seem to be 40k start so why dont you find a job of there?. Ok you can go on about the bigger picture location etc but most of the jobs seem to have good pay so whats all the whole i hate my job thing about

The really good jobs don't even make it into the PJ - they get snapped up before then, one gets to know about them through the Grapevine, "the friend of a friend" etc... a bit like in the property market: the really hot deals are done and dusted within a few hours by "Those in the Know" who had their feelers out...
Also, I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I quite like my job, and I quite like my pay too, even though I still believe I'm worth much more than half a GP...

how much do you earn mate

[admin]

I would say is when you see a big salary it usually means big stress!

Also, I'd say some of us like to moan on here, as it gets it out of our system!

Some people on here have been known to eat over a dozen mince pies, just to try to get through the day.........

can I please ask, how much are you lot earning per year and what sector?
