you'll have to re-take the aptitude tests again after 12 months as they are only valid for a year

I currently work in IT for Hewlett Packard and am sick of it now. Techies get sod all money for the amount they need to know.

I've seriously been considering doing the knowledge. Your your own boss, work as and when you need to do. pretty much guranteed work, biggest stress you'll ever suffer is sitting in traffic but the fair keeps rising anyway! And how many poor black cabbies do you know?

My next door neighbour just done it in 3.5 years, he now works 4 nites a week and is happily supporting 3 kids a misses and a very big house!

Mentioned something about the "computer cab" thing in his cab will earn him Ł500 a week alone in jobs. The rest, well dont think the tax man knows about

i'm just a csa though so i get crap shifts, bad pay and loads of hassle from annoying customers.

i'm on about Ł5.82 doing nights! it's crap. good job i'll have a proper job soon.

to be fair though it's A LOT better than working for total was. i hated that place. 99% of customers are fine and most of the regular ones seem cool. being on the a14 helps i guess - customers don't tend to be in a rush as much. lorry drivers are always friendly.
