Research scientist
I think I once worked out that I'd get paid more as a trainee manager in McDonalds. Tennis boy is on £5k a year more than me and all he does is hit a ball over a net ffs. (his words not mine)

No money in useful areas like that
come and work for a marketing agency, we'll pay you right up

It may yet come to that
I'll never earn more than £25k doing what I do, no matter how many years experience I have. Shit, eh?

Do you at least get some job satisfaction?

Bloody hell that's nearly £10k more than my current salary
*weeps* mind you, I will be getting substantially more when I go to Oxford, simply because it's so fucking expensive there.

Erm. Yes, sometimes I get job satisfaction. It's hard work and can be stressful but I enjoy it; sometimes I wonder if I'd rather have a job I didn't much like but which demanded nothing of me except my time.
