Cyber-punk Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane, QLD Registered: February 2003	Re: overqualified vs underqualified Mon, 10 May 2004 09:41 i think it depends where you want to go on a whole though i'd say a balance would need to be acheived. I'm seriously considering continueing studying part time when i'm fully trade qualified because i dont think i'd like to turn into one of the tradesmen i work with(65, about to retire, and earns less than a 17 year old roofer but has 50 years more experience) going back to that roofer(a mate of mine) example again, he's 17, been out of school for 2 years and is on $25 an hour. Its not glorious work but it pays more than other people i know(uni graduates) who've been out of uni for 5 years. Thats not always the case though, a friends sister is working in the UK for about 60k pounds a year and she's only just finished uni(damn accountants ) with her masters in something(business i'd say) as i change my mind often i think this might change, but my current plan is to get trade qualified and keep learning on the side. oh and draven, i've been knocked back from a job because of my typing speed,70wpm and 95% accuracy, not the best accuracy but still i was told i didnt get the job because "my skills where not suitable for a call centre" and this is with 12 months(2 different jobs) telemarketing experience. well i believe it was this as the person interviewing looked rather surprised when she told me my results from that test. the job actually went to someone i was going to tafe with at the time and i found out from him that he was stoned when he turned up and barely finished the typing test...go figure [Report message to a moderator]
