Yes, take the job........the next best offer might be McDonalds!

As a teacher once wrote on my form when I asked him to approve my work experience.....'work will be an experience for him'......., and it certainly will for you!


I think I would get bored of saying, "you want fries with that"  ::)
I'm after that McDonalds Litter Patrol job - a nice outdoor job, nice coat, a pickup stick to save your back, and meal vouchers.....


My claim to fame is being turned down for a job at McDonalds once....

As for mortgages, I got one the minute I got a firm job offer, I just needed a deposit (small) and 6 months bank statements.....interestingly, the same bank wouldn't give me a current account as I had no credit history!

Just like to say a public thanks to chopsdad for a very informative PM on the world of mortgages!

Well done on the 2.1, its a good reward after all the work you put in for all those years. As regards the job, it sounds good, grab it before someone else does ( a bird in the hand......)  :y. Especially if its in the field you want to go into. I made the mistake of joining Marconi several decades ago, and things have been going downhill ever since !  ;D

Well done on the degree! It's a good feeling I remember vaguely..

Sounds like your mind's made up regarding the job. I think it's the right thing to do.

a good job with a great salary is the perfect foundation for the rest of your life, which will include as many big europe trips as you like!!

if you turned down the job and went to europe for a month, will you be returning to just as good an opportunity?

Came in late on this one but as one of my friends once said to me when i was in a similar position to you now....'' Take the opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity.'' Its taken me deep along roads that i would not have taken. With many a twist and turn that i would not have made.

Congratulations on such a good result from your hard work at Univ. Been along the special side as well at school and still managed uni x2 and a decent  job. :y

Remember if we were all good spellers then we would be contestants on 'countdown' that is why you have spell check on a computer..... ;D

Kind regards.

Cut and paste this into word and see how the spell checker gets on. Then go and buy a dickshunry, :y

I have a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea

Eye ran this poem threw it
Your sure real glad two no
It's vary polished in it's weigh
My checker tolled me sew

A checker is a bless sing
It freeze yew lodes of thyme
It helps me awl stiles two reed
And aides me when aye rime

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud
And wee mussed dew the best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud

And now bee cause my spelling
is checked with such grate flare
Their are know faults with in my site
Of nun eye am a wear

Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed to be a joule
The checker poured over every word
To cheque sum spelling rule

That's why aye brake in two averse
By righting wants too pleas
Sow now ewe sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear for pea seas
