If a small outfit called EFMS offer you a job, run away *mutters at people having the audacity to offer him a tedious low-paying job*

I'd love to take a year off and travel, but it is just financing it which is the problem

How much did they offer you Gibsie?

I am looking for jobs at the moment, there are a few I am going to apply to at the moment.

Sorry GP, I missed that post with the name of the company. I shall check it out.

Did you quit your doctoral work because you didnt like research period or you didnt like that particular field of research?

Well not either really, it was because the department had **** facilities, my supervision was next to nonexistent and my project had no form. I just couldn't see myself continuing under the circumstances. I just couldn't get on with anything or get the opportunity to make a decent go of it. It was making me very depressed and I felt, for my own sanity, I had to quit rather than flog a dead horse.

Isnt the first thing to decide then whether you want to continue in research at all? If yes, in the same field? If yes, then you know what you have to do? Get out there and find another graduate position.

I suspect you know by now that the publics view of scientists as guys in white coats and glasses with jobs for life is crap. You've got to love it and you've got to fight for respect every step of the way.

I was offered £7500 for 12 months' work.

I'd rather spend a year working on the checkout at Tescos full-time.

you are in debt I presume and that is hanging over your head... perhaps if you can put it on hold you can save one year in your twenties for a normal life.

ROTF

Where does that leave the £7500/yr offer

And Provost try London jobs over the net.. as you are almost PHD level the entry level and pay might be high enough to support the cost of living and get you better difference (or take home) than other parts of the country.

And the choice is surely the biggest...

I don't really fancy London though, the pay never seems to be that high for these kinds of jobs, and then there is getting around the damn place. Eughhh. It's been one of my no-no's is moving to London.

I totally agree, but if the bribe (pay) is high enough, it would be worth it. Everything has its price (even spending a year in the semen tub ) maybe it is worth putting some effort into it.

Or better to say not ignoring the area.
Who knows there might be positions that require experience in areas that you specialized at... and willing to pay well. Searching is a job in itself.

But the bribe should be substantially higher than the rest of the country just like an allowance for the transport congestion frustration, and the unhealthy environemnt allowance

You know you don't actually have to work in central London. The suburbs get paid just as well, have less traffic\commuter problems, are cheaper etc.... In fact any of the home counties are good for working in. Except Essex, that place is a dive.
