[Gllug] OT: Just probing the job market in London

[Rainforestanne at aol.com]

I am assuming here that all those that live in London have no families as the 
only ones I know of that do have are popstars and MP's as the flats that were 
the old East End are now dockland developments. It is cheaper to live in a 
hotel than have to fund a flat and live well enough to enjoy work. In the 
differences, take for instance the Lake District or the Yorkshire Dales, the 
fact that a detatched residence with gardens and parking and 4/5 bedrooms in 
a prestigeous location can cost £250. 000 and that a flat in London can cost 
that much. The rent of £500 plus is equal to a 100k mortgage and there will 
not be any of those in the centre of London, that is why the second home 
market is not holiday let but steps on the property ladder.

In the case of the degree's, the 'acceptable' universities are becoming those 
with distance learning as the Arab Open University, AOU, has been signed with 
the the OU and now this method of learning and research projects are being 
understood more and more by employers and funders of research. It is not the 
marks you get but how you use them. I know desperate 1sts who are delivering 
catalogue stuff and working in coffee shops, and I know students who have got 
top jobs with the lowest qualifications. 

I keep looking to see who has solved the problems of the job search and 
whether consultancy work has a certain website. not the ones listed.
