Then what the @#$%^&* did I go to university for?! [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/5bloodymurder.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]It's a good question. I did three years at a good uni, currently slogging my way through another three for a professional qualification earning a 'good' salary for a first job, yet I'm on half of what a tube driver will earn. They only have one lever in their cabs for crying out loud! Even the station guys get up to £30k and all they do is tell you to 'mind the gap'.
