You sure know how to ask the wrong way!
He wouldn't be honest with us anyway. It's clear daddy funded junior's socialite days, yet junior still feels a need to criticise the hand-to-mouth working poor people, there is nothing to respect here.I'd look at it like this - I can either sell:
1 thing to make £260,000;
10 things to make £26,000;
100 things to make £2,600;
1000 things to make £260; or
10,000 things to make £26.
The time-to-sale, cashflow and likelihood-of-cash-in-hand are different at each level.
What competitive advantages do you have at each of those levels?
Edit: oh right, f*&k me - this thread is a toss off; my bad.

I've known Jamie for years. First met around 2003 when we both had a TVR. It's not funded by daddy. He saw a gap in the market, worked towards it and took some risks and maybe had a bit of luck along the way.
You don't know his background (and it's not my place to disclose it), but let's just say that assumption is the mother of all fkups...

I think our friends attitude says all it needs to about his chances of finding his own luck!
OP: Whilst PH is full of passionate, enthusiastic people whom you could learn from, Buy me a drink at a PH Social sometime and I'll happily talk to you, if you can find your way to some manners

All I can give you is respect if you are self made, but you've still not answered my question RE qualifications + day job. I think our friends attitude says all it needs to about his chances of finding his own luck!

- OK, so a degree that provided you with an opening into the industry, following which you gained some fairly basic design and site experience - but not yet Chartered (i.e. professionally qualified), which is your 'glass ceiling'. All the Civils graduates that I mentor usually achieve Chartership in 4-5 years on a graduate training scheme which includes rotation between design, site, commercial, etc., so I suggest that Chartership needs to be your next realistic goal.I obtained A - levels, obtained civ eng degree with first class honors.

FWIW, I joined the industry at 16 and achieved Chartership and latterly Fellowship, demonstrating that hard work does pay. However, £5k per week is and will remain a pipe dream!

It is not an usual rate in oil and gas consultancy.FWIW, I joined the industry at 16 and achieved Chartership and latterly Fellowship, demonstrating that hard work does pay. However, £5k per week is and will remain a pipe dream!
