Not over at 60
Postbox letter from Rob
I'm 60 and have never been in so much demand. Am I that special? Not at all. I'm just proactive and do a good job.
Low wages
Postbox letter from Marcus
A three to six month training course is not closely equivalant to the years of sacrifice and study it takes to receive a degree in education. Although it may be enough to find work in a developing country, it is not recognised, and I believe one would be far pressed to find employment, in a native English speaking country.

Ads for low paying schools
Postbox letter from Paymonger
Always make sure you know how an employer is working out your pay.

Postbox letter from James Phillips
