bloody hell JCB
but i bet you get paid enough to justify that kind of cost?
Off course he does. You can't work somewhere, that costs you more to get there and back than the wages it pays (Or leaves you not enough to pay the mortgage / bills!)
You would just get a job in a local shop, work full time, and make more, and travel less.
Outside of London, agreed, the money isnt there (On the whole). You need to be specialist / have experience and / or be quite high up in a well established company / business to make a lot of money.
Sure there are lots of places around, if you look, that can pay in / around the minimum wage, but outside of London, in the majority, theres no 'big' money.
However, the offset of this, is that everything is cheaper. Especially house prices. In and around my area, there's some really nice countryside / settings, as well as being only 10 mins away from all the local amenities. A Detached, 3 Bedroomed house, with offroad parking, a garden and a decent location, you could probably pick up for £600 per month.
My friend rents a property on their own, (shared with 4 other random people) thats 30 mins outside of london by train / car - so not even technically in London. 1 bedroom / kitchen bathroom and lounge, no garden. £700 per month, and still has to pay bills on top, as well as food, transport etc etc..
Thinking of starting my own business up, but theres so much risk to it.
