London Calling
.
I've just applied for a job in London, doing employment law work for 17 pounds an hour. Seems like a fairly reasonable hourly rate, and I guess I could also find a bar job as well to add to the money. I didnt really want to base myself in London because it is so expensive to live there, but I guess if the price is right....?
.
So, all you Brits out there, I need your help. Is 17 pounds an hour a reasonable amount of money to receive? Will this allow me to live as well as save a bit of money in London or am I best to head up to Edinburgh like I always planned to do?
.
I suppose even if I do this for three months and live out of a hostel and eat fruit and noodles, I can save enough money to pay off a few things, and also get ready for Winter 06/07 in Europe, as well as a Greek redevous... I welcome people's assistance with this! (pretty please!)
.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
.
Loving it.

Hi Kate! you can live just outside london for about £100 per week rent, with tube fares about £10 per day so you can do the maths yourself! £17 an hour is £136 a day or £680 a a week. OK! we pay about £25 for a Marine mechanic and £98 for a BMW mechanic but those are extortionate prices, for a Lawyer we would pay £200 per hour. Take the job and look around whilst you have it. dont go to Edinborough! by all means have a visit but not to stay for any length of time, I used to commute there some years back and that was enough. Much more life in London. As I said before if you need a hand when you get here by all means contact me!Youve got family in London havent you? anyway if you need any help dont forget to call!
17 pounds isn't bad. Bar jobs can pay as little as 4.50 an hour.
