Just applied for a new job, IT tech with a college. its pretty basic by the sound of it, thats why i think with my experience, skill , knowledge and qualifications (which are just a bit above basic i think) i should have a decent choice

it'll be far less stress
something fun, i enjoy and want to do
and ill get paid about 4 grand off double my current wage (from 11 grand to 18 and half grand)

    there is politics where ever you work.. i know a number of teachers (friends wives etc..) and they get it a lot.. it's academia and well it's a different type of hassle.. not commission or stealing it off work mates.. but other hassle

    a friend used to be head admin at our old uni.. students are a nightmare..

    but hopefully you'll get it.. but even then people advertise jobs "outside" but it's an insider who gets em.

    Hey, I work for myself, but still have tons of hassle from the support agencies, you won`t ever get away from crap and power trippers, no matter what, it is just a case of trying to find the humour in it I suppose !:sad:
