mattx Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 You must be in the 55+ bracket then, mattx? HA, not quite - feel like it sometimes... This thread reminds me of the Harry Anfield two old women sketches... ' YOUNG MAN !! At our age.... YOUNG MAN !!! '

krisd32 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 23 here nearly 24, been in IT part and full time since i was 17 and in education since 2005
wesleyw Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 29 here I'm feeling surprisingly old due to injuries through Football and Badminton the joints are more like 79 lol In educational IT for 6 years, College and Uni before that. Wes
indiegirl Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 A lady should never reveal her age... (I'm in the [currently] most popular group) I've been in IT for nearly 6 years, was in Education for two and a half of those years, but my experience is varied, only three years of my 6 have been in a Windows environment...

This thread reminds me of the Harry Anfield two old women sketches... ' YOUNG MAN !! At our age.... YOUNG MAN !!! ' Reminds me of the two outrageous Old Gits - my role models! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_qXhCFMMzk RoyG P.S. Yep - I'm the 1 in the "older" category!

witch Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Just a thought I can see that those of you who are very young (under 25 or so) are earning a reasonable salary and no doubt most of you don't have mortgages, children etc. But, thinking of the low salaries paid here even to Network Managers of large comprehensive schools, I cannot see how those of you in your 30's with mortgages and families can possibly manage. Is it that salaries are particularly bad down here in Dorset, or living costs cheaper elsewhere, or what?

wesleyw Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I think I'm on a sensible amount however after reading IT week the average for jobs in IT is 35k I'm certainly not there yet! And the average wage for a Graduate is 28k too many london surveys me thinks! Wes
johnj1710 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 45 and still alive - plenty of battle scars though - it's my 5th career!

Is it that salaries are particularly bad down here in Dorset, or living costs cheaper elsewhere, or what? Well, I'm in my 30's with a somewhat gorgeous 1 year old daughter and on the south coast, admittedly though due to a reasonable stroke of luck on the lottery I bought my house 8 years ago (at a time when they were nicely priced), so I dont have any mortgage overhead which helps, to be honest I dont really have many outgoings and what little outgoings I do have are covered by my remaining bank balance. I tend to use my wages as an "operating" fund for the month and any leftovers go join my existing balance
