£65k at 17 as a (fresh out of school) apprentice software engineer?!

Now I know quite a few graduates in that field, and happen to know roughly what they earn, and my BS detector is going way off the scale (unless you happen to have friends in high places...does happen)!

One of my mates is dating a lass whose first car is an Audi TT. Her dad has a Ferrari and a Lambo. I can see certain advantages in being loaded

cheers

My sister who is 29 has worked there for years and her boy friend 31 is in a very high place, my sister pulled the strings she started off at 25.000 a year now shes earning tons more she very high up too

Foggy you know i never show the 65k thats how much they rekend i would be getting

Just asked my sister its 35k - 65 Sorry i was being greedy looking at the bigger numbers on my work report

but still a lot of money i think any ways.

Hehe...that's more believeable. 35k is damn fine bank for a 17 year old...65k just sounded wrong!

Anyway, in my humble experience, how much you earn is inversely proportional to how much fun you have with your job. When I graduated, Aldi (i.e. the uber-cheap supermarket) were advertising trainee area manager positions starting at 37k + an Audi A4. Looks good on paper, but you just know it would be a horrible, horrible job...that's why they pay so much!

Did I mention that I hate it?
I went for the start there yrs ago-didn't get one

Best thing that could of happened-know a lad who worked there-told me some bizarre things like if you halt the line what happens
He took a canny pay drop to get out but never regretted it-you have my sympathy even if you are a Mackem and your team's $hit

It's a means to an end I suppose. Once the debt's gone I'll skedaddle. Still, at least I managed to swindle them out of £20 an hour today, doing absolutely nowt. Weekends are a right racket in this place:

Yeah mate my cousin worked for them as manager and quit within 3 months. She said it was barbaric, they work the managers like dogs. She fell asleep at the wheel one night and was lucky not to be seriously hurt. They give you that much money because they make you do the work of ten people.
