.Just over actually, I'm on £12,000 for 42 weeks. And yes, I do it all
(bar
.SIMS)...
.
I get an allowance for teaching a couple of (A-level) classes and 6 weeks
(paid) leave. I do the whole lot otherwise, and am ably assisted by a small
number of pupils destined fot the industry.

.Well, it's experience, it pays the rent, and it was an ideal job for a
.school leaver, who'd already helped run the network as a student.... so a
.big thanks to the RLS.
In my case, I wanted to move to the West Couuntry, and was willing to
accept a (66%) cut in pay to do it. After 20+ years in the computer
industry, the other rats had begun to look like usable protein! <g>
Apart from that, I get to play with computers all day!
