Did you say 6 figure monthly salary? That's a bit over the top isn't it? xd It would mean you'd have an eight figure yearly salary, which would be awesome but perhaps a tad wishful thinking. Just getting 100K a year would be a good enough for me.

My malaysian friend's been searching for a job in Bath for a month now with no success. He's been rejected by KFC, McDonalds, Burger King and just on saturday he got a rejection letter from Greggs (bakery). I think it's cos he's malaysian... ninja
I'm gonna test this theory on tuesday (after the bank holiday) and apply for 4 jobs alongside him to see if either of us gets an offer. xD
@CBC: Oh CBC, I was once like you, hoping I could fudge my way into med school too. Word of advice, have a plan B prepared in case it doesn't work out... or you could end up at the australian equivalent of Bath. O:> oh noes!
@Fellow Brits (mainly aimed at niph lol): Do you think it could be possible to immigrate to a foreign country, live there permanently and completely ignore my student debt?
This is a notion that's been brought to my attention by an old housemate who's planning to leave England for Canada after he finishes his Biology degree. Apparently if you move there for 3 years you'll be granted citizenship and your student debt in the UK will be wiped clean.
Sounds pretty good to me. razz

cold_blooded_chick Having a job would satisfy me now. I know kids who are younger than me and earning like 6 grand a year just from part time jobs... stare Lol, I wish I could sympathize with your situation, but I'm one of the lucky students who have a regular part time job to fall back on. Admittedly I just work for my parents, but earning nearly 20K a year before tax isn't that bad. xd

Since when have you been a 'fellow brit'? stare lol, I'm just joshing. Yes, it is dishonest, but if there's a loophole then why not exploit it? Plus my debt's gonna be pretty big by the time I graduate (around £24k) and that's not even including interest. gonk

eh.... I think that's just a little more than my debt by the time I graduate... I don't think I can get rid of it if I moved to another country... maybe I'll just fake my own death.

Still, you don't have to be ashamed to work for your parents. When tons of young adults are staying at home rather than move due to the ridiculous house prices at the moment, working for a parents' business is better than being stuck in working for a fast foot outlet. After all, if you're good at it, you'll probably get to take over the business once your parents retire. At least that's my idea.

Since my parents didn't devour me whole after hearing news of my chemistry mark, I will demonstrate my glee by posting a picture!  We have a mounted poster of this picture in my English classroom. It's fantastic - gotta love the spastic Doctor~ 3nodding
