Do you think a monthly salary of £1000 is enough?

Question

I'm a college student and I'm beginning to lose determination, in fact this has been for a while now. And I'm studying I.T computer systems Level 2.... I get freaking course works every 3 days from each of my three teachers. I'm far behind also, I've talked to my teachers and they said they'll help me although I still doubt that will change much. Iam hard working but I just can not dedicate myself to this, I get distracted and have minor issues. So I was thinking about working, but to be honest a £1000 a month does'nt sound enough at all, especially not for future plans. I'm in a dilemma, could it work out. Anyone experiences this or from your point of view, what do you think.

Answer 1

It's enough to start on. Take it, work at it but keep studying in your spare time. Please don't say you have no spare time, you can always MAKE TIME if you are determined. I left school with nothing, went to work and studied nights. I now have two degrees (O.U.) and make a good living.



Don't give up, not every one is suited to higher education

Answer 2

That looks like you're trying some dangerous waters, but trust me, work is not that bad. I mean you'll realise that you spend too much time there, but you'll get used to it. 1000 pounds a month is not all that great. Especially if you live on your own and have to pay rent and stuff.



Hehe, and the guy above is wrong. Investing into mutual fund would never make dishwasher a millionaire. That's a speculation on a funny sequence they teach in school. What students later fail to realise is that nobody would give you 10% a day no matter what you do.

Answer 3

It isn't much to work with but even a dishwasher can retire a millionaire so long as they invest every month into a suitable tax sheltered mutual fund. However, if you're having difficulty with IT, it's unlikely that you'll be able to handle the nuances of risk management in investing and you would be likely to undertake excessive risk with your investments. These days, IT is fairly straight forward, just about everything is prepackaged and documented in best practices for you by us old geezers who had nightmares about modifying the sendmail.cf file manually and had to deal with multiple email systems not just the one that survived.

Answer 4

That isn't enough to live on and pay all expenses. You need about 3 times that to live a normal life.

Answer 5

When can a human say this is enough ?

Only on having food.

Except that each person needs more and more.

Money, girls, properties, gold and everything he needs more.

So, you have to consider, that much salary is enough or not.

Answer 6

is it enough? well depends on what for. if your thinking of just getting by.. then yes. if you want to live a comfortable life without any worry then no. also depends which city you live in and how much rent/ bills are in that area

Answer 7

yes, i think it's not enough for you, you have the wonderfull experience, you could change the another job with the higher salary.........
