Originally posted by BritishLad88 View PostIf you're into Football you can look into football index - a kind of investment on the football market. Normal stock market have suffered because of companies suffering to trade but football despite not much live football being played there's still lots of talks around football players in general. And football index is a stock market on footballers. I've been trading on there as an alternative income before i got back to perm job and earned quite a few extras to keep me going. So i'm chuffed to bits.Comment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostIf you've got a 15-year old CS degree, it's probably not worth much these days other than being "degree level" as per the job spec.
find that most employers look for experience rather especially in FS. Unless, you're applying for big tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon etc. they value degrees even for senior people who's been in the industry for over 10 years.Comment

A few decent public sector roles at the DWP and MoJ but the application process is excruciatingly slow and requires page after page of documents and a covering letter detailing why you meet the 101 skills required.
Problem is I can’t get a look in as they all expect some sort of clearance level being DV, SC etcComment
