I mean its hardly worth it for all the efforts.
10k is bollox, It would hardly keep someone in wheetabix for f*k sake![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Honest people get no where in life..

seeing as how you live at home, i don't see how 10k is so bad. you can bung your parents £50 a week and still have plenty of beer money. You could even save up a little....

Yes they they would and plenty of people do! Get off your lazy ar$e and go and start at the bottom like everyone else and work your way up. If you want higher pay then when you get in the job you work your ar$e off and hope your boss notices and rewards you accordingly. If not then you work to gain the experience needed to move somewhere else who will pay you higher.
You need to ******* wake up if you think you can walk straight into a job from school and earn over 10k with nothing special on your CV unless you are very lucky.
I started on 10k when I left uni which was half of what I thought I was going to start on being a graduate. It was a big wake up call. However in 4 years I had over trebled that which in my view wasn't bad going. I basically played the game of biding my time, getting experience and then asking for the money I was worth in comparison to similar experienced/skilled people and if I didn't get it I moved somewhere where I got the money I wanted.
Get your foot in the door, lay some foundations for a couple of years experience wise and then start trying to get somewhere money/career wise.

When I started full time work I was only earning 6k a year for my 3 months probation, it then went up to 8.5k at that job, however it gave me the foot in the door that I needed, and got me some experience, after a few years I was earning substantially more.
I am now earning substantially less that I have moved out of IT, but when I start in the Metropolitan Police I know that I will be earning enough to cover all my bills, and have money to save away, and most importantly I will be happy.

I cannot understand how people manage on less than 40k is this day and age.
Seriously tho, when I left school I got a job and was paid 43 quid a week
Think yourself very lucky to get 10k a year for your first job
In fact think yourself lucky there *is* a job

You have got to go out and get a job somewhere just to start off cos no one is going to give you a well paid position from having no experience, you may have heard this before but "There is no short cut to experience" I wanted to be a well paid paint sprayer but could only get a job packing in a warehouse, 17 years on i earn more than a paint sprayer managing the same warehouse, strange how things turn out. I also have a mate like you chaos who wont get off his lazy **** cos he thinks a well paid job is the only one worth having 
he thought this at 17 and still has **** all at 33, cant even pay his phone bill, has been declared bankrupt and is stuck at home with his drunk mother.
