When agencies are telling me that 380 a day is a great rate for a senior architect it does not look like I will be spending much play money this year.

On a separate note I think the retail lot are up to no good... Its only a suspicion but I have had a couple of agencies keep ringing me up over the last few weeks telling me about a big job kicking off I am thinking that they are lining up a virtual bench to cover a rate cut or something...

You really need to pick a business whose market has not been destroyed by the digital revolution.

While I quite like Jessops for people like me with photography as a hobby they didn't know enough yet for the average man in the street the shop was scary and their phone good enough.

And there are not enough people who have photography as a hobby to keep 200 chain shops open.
