I have worked as a contractor for the last 4 years and regularly cruise Jobserve in the UK for not only the next contract but to see how trends are moving and what sort of technology is coming up.

If you ever feel disheartened in your studies, take this little example of what you could possibly achieve....

    400 British pounds = 594.385753 Euro
    400 British pounds = 787.68 U.S. American dollars
    400 British pounds = 908.19504 Canadian dollars
    400 British pounds = 1,000.10157 Australian dollars

    are a few conversions.

    While that does look like a nice chunk of change :D - Isn't London one of the more expensive places to live?

    Yes it is im afraid, unless your on a very well paid wage, you can forget living in london, best to commute in from one of the "cheaper" areas around london into work, I know many many people do.

    How does London compare to living in places like NYC? I have a few buddies in Jersey city that shell out maybe $1500 a month and they need a roommate to keep up with the costs... They work in NYC but gotta live just outside of it...

    Cost of living can be a ****!
