    What's the best way to become a fully qualified electrician earning a good wage?

    As the title says, what's the best way of doing this? I got a good set of GCSES (2A*s, 10As and 2Bs) however I do not think that I will be able to go to uni. Instead learning a trade is a more likely option. I have decided to go to being an electrician and will probably apply for something...

    Minimum wage and freddo's , food for thought

    Food for thought The Freddo theory In 1999 minimum wage was £3.60/hour and a freddo was 5p This means you could buy 72 freddos with an hours wage Now minimum wage is £7.50/hour yet freddo's are 25p , meaning you can only buy 30 freddo's with an hours wage For the continuum of freddo...

    Minimum/Living Wage

    When the NMW was introduced the cry from the tories was that it would cost jobs, this has been proven to be pretty much nonsense. Now that there's a call for it to be raised to a living level the same cry is being heard from the same people. Now we all know that "everyone who claims a benefit is...

    National Minimum Wage

    Just been on the DirectGov website there, and I find the NMW disgusting! The thought that an apprentice can be paid £2.60ph (the apprentice rate, for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship) is shocking. That means that if they're working a 40 hour week...
