Message: [QUOTE="Stu_Ungar, post: 1192564, member: 39779"] Is this reality? I know wage differences exist between the USA and the UK... but When I talk to youngsters here about jobs etc... they quote salaries that often make me double-take, especially when I know the going rate in a particular field. Most students here seem to think they will start out on a 30K job.. the reality is a 14K job. Education is not what it used to be. There was a time when a university degree meant you could walk into pretty much any job and command a higher salary simply because of your education. It seems these days there are so many students that this is no longer the case. I know of entry level skilled workers earning 25% less than unskilled manual workers, and it will be a number of years before the skilled person's wage rises above the unskilled. [/QUOTE]
