I wish! I had 40 hours a week in my first year . My standard working week here is 37.5 - although I typically want to do more.

Ive done the 9 till 5 job thing, only thing i never liked about it was the repetition of daily life. One of my requirements for a job is variety in the work. A friend of mine graduated years ago in the same kinda degree, he goes to germany and ireland on training courses and seminars, thats the kinda thing im looking for, not gong to the same place everyday by once in a while working elsewhere. Nothing worse than a rut in your life.

Something tells me you get paid overtime :smt002 ...wish I did.

I had considerably more than 10 hours a week at uni, yet it still felt as if I had loads more time than I do now.

Now? well like Caz my standard week is 37.5 hours. A quick mental add up suggests I've done about 57 hours this week (and about the same the last two weeks as well. Which explains why I haven't been on here much lately.
