Work....

Ermmm the rich don't have to go to work you dick.
60K a year is not rich.
In other posts you say you go to sixth form, and that you are 16.
I think you are just too thick to go to uni tbh.

I never said 60K is rich, I said after 6-7 months in this current position I'll be manager on a base salary of 60K for the FIRST YEAR !+ Commision I'll be 17 dude. And yes I was at sixth form, but I stopped since I found this job. Too dumb in what aspect? Not be bothered to do work, sit in a boring class-room writing tedious notes for 5 odd years doesn't appeal to me. I passed GCSEs and was possing English Psychology and Geog at sixth form

Yeah, okay, and how long do you think you'll last in the job?

And when you're done with this job, how are you going to find another with just GCSEs and no high-school or university degree. Meh.

I don't know why, but CurlyHairedDude just sounds bitter against people who do go to uni...

Well done on the job and stuff, but i dont know anyone who hasnt passed their gcses. Im sure u can get a pass with just coursework!

So I'm working full-time and in about 7 months I'll be a manager, I'm only 16 and all the managers are literally in there twenties earlier a base salary of 60K per year, I don't see the point of uni, all this education + debt + no gauruntee of a job at the end, and if you do get a job...it will only pay tops 25K per year for first year grads...

I'm going to have so much money by the time I'm 18, and for those who don't believe me Ican give you information

Nah of course not, a lot of people only go to uni because :

1. They feel it's the only thing they can do to get a job
2. because of the experience, the stupid sex notion.... blahh
3. They think their gunna be ballin after
4. Sheep factor - everyone else is going so that must mean I have to as well

If someone wants to go to uni, has the money then go for it, but I'll be laughing at you in a few years time




Yeah GCSEs aren't hard, that's how far I got I didn't want to do A-levels I startedt hem and got B's in my first mock, but it wasn't for me

Not many people will be buying from you if you sell them something with a "gaurantee". Learn how to spell and you might get a job in McDs. Let the rest acquire knowledge and experiences from university.

Unfortunately when I sell products I speak to them verbally, I don't right stuff down. Why would I need a job in Mcdonalds, if I've already got one. I'm on about 8.33 h/r for up to 7/8 hours a day, it will be going up in a few months too, when Mcdonalds is like 3.87p/h

So I'm working full-time and in about 7 months I'll be a manager, I'm only 16 and all the managers are literally in there twenties earlier a base salary of 60K per year, I don't see the point of uni, all this education + debt + no gauruntee of a job at the end, and if you do get a job...it will only pay tops 25K per year for first year grads...

Yeah I don't want to be learning for another 6 years tbh, have a nasty debt, and no gauruntee of a job. Let alone being able to study hard enough to get even a 2:1 it's waste of time, even if I was earning 10K per year for that 6 years, I'm gunna be @ 60K while uni student will be -21K

I will last ! it's SELF-EMPLOYED YOU IDIOT. I have control over how much money I make everyday, Nobody can sack me, it's a training management programme and we go out and make money, it's up to us if we want to go in or not

Uni is probably -30k, just 20k debt

Yes you can slave for 45 years in a job you don't like at your £10k a year. You won't get much promotion opportunities.

Or you can study, pick the job you enjoy and have a comfortable life.

1. What is it exactly that you sell
2. How can you be so positive that the product your selling will be popular forever
3. What got you the job in the first place, must have been a bit of a gamble due to being in mostemployer's eyes a naive school-leaver who isn't even technically an adult yet.

Sounds a bit like one of those pyramid schemes, get-rich-quick if you get in there quick.

OP is earning 60k in his dream....

First of all it is WRITE not right. You can't right stuff down. You have so bad grammar and come across as extremely inarticulate.

I won't say anything about McDonalds, but I will say that without broadening your skill set you will find it hard to find employment later on if you get fired. Don't forget unless if you have been working at a company for a year you can get fired without warning and no reason given. A lot of people go to university as previously mentioned to gain a safety net of sorts since the degree does broadcast you are an able individual to a certain extent. In this market everyone has a degree, so it isn't so much a wow factor but a pre-requisite. Unless you have extremely connected friends or relatives or get really lucky.

Students from LSE will not think 60k is nothing. Even with a masters degree and a first class degree in economics from LSE, you would still be jumping for joy on £60,000 base salary. This is assuming you are in investment banking front office where most people studying at LSE finance courses want to be in.

You are antagonizing a lot of people on a STUDENT forum who are aspiring to go to good universities. Me included. University is a good place to develop your character, make a network of friends, gain a plethora of knowledge that may or may not be useful amongst other reasons.

Myself I am studying further into a masters because I like to study. My advice to you is to keep the 60k a year job if it truly exists and gap year then go do further studies. Work experience is invaluable in this market, with a management role beneath your belt you could do well at a FTSE 100 company.

Although £8.33 per hour would mean you work roughly just under 20 hours a day..... for a basic of 60k. You work soooo hard, take a rest.

your forgetting tax.

A student can at least work at half your rate tax free.

And lol I'm not earning 60K yet, I earn about £350 pound a week at the moment, should have read the thread and you would have known how much I earnt in the first place.

Haha, 350 a week is what.... at the most 18,500 - assuming you dont take holidays. Throw a 4 weeks holiday in there on half pay and your down to less than 18k. So you really think that in year or so your going to go from a bottom of the pile photocopier position on 18k to some highflying middle manager worth 3 times as much to the business. Jog on.
