even that's crap during the summer holidays...
ten weeks where the entire university population is dumped into the job market... unless you can type 70wpm you don't even get on the list of potentials
at least a couple of years ago there was dot-com fever, and it was easy to get outrageously highly paid jobs... i mean, i was offered £35k just before starting uni... probably i'd earn 15 for the same job now, if it was even possible to get an interview.
roll on the phd!
