In an odd way, I think I see what you're getting at. Yeah, perhaps I am being a tad silly. Ofcourse it is possible to obtain a job at that age after obtaining a degree but what I really wanted to know was what others are doing and how they got to where they are.

I should have asked that in the first place.

Cheers :)
