I know they exist because I've seen them on Discovery Channel but I didn't know there were that many. Surely you could get a job in a musem (don't think thats spelt correctly) or something.smiley - tea

Oh, I could probably find a job, the problem is there aren't much in the way of relevent graduate jobs. At least, not unless I want to work for any of the nuclear companies, and I don't.

I haven't graduated yet smiley - bigeyes. Officially so far all I have are my A-levels, which were a big mix of subjects. I'll find something, it's fairly easy to pick up a vaguely relevant job, just not a graduate one. However, PSG's doing the same thing as I am, continually applying for graduate jobs. As long as one of us gets one the other can find a job of some sort in the same location, at least to start with. Hopefully.
