If you're not on the track of Oxbridge to finance / management consulting / law, you have no chance of making it in the UK. I have no chance of making it.

And of course every single person on tv and Instagram is making huge amounts of money while I live in a tiny flat

1k a month, fuck that is pretty cheap. Normal rent here in Oz would easy be 1.2k a month, and that is in no city, city life you are looking at 1.6k-2k a month easy

Not sure if bait,

But London is an anomaly, overpriced shithole. Move to any decent City up north, Manchester, Leeds even fucking Glasgow. It's much easier to find work up here and the quality of life is generally better.

And people aren't pompous pricks like in London.

>mfw when I live in chicago (arguably the coolest city) in a nice neighborhood with sweet bars and I only pay 700 bucks a month for a nicer place with a roommate

inb4 "rampant violence" like cunt that shit is so centralized to certain parts of the city that I've never had to worry about any of that

Eyyy, I kind of resent the "even fucking Glasgow"! It's pretty enjoyable up here and lots of the English people that move tend to stay. There are less minorities if that's your thing, too.

Wages aren't bad but you'd struggle with a regular job without roommates. Studio apartment starts around £250($400?) a week. Comparable to New York. I'd say London is better housing wise if you don't have a lot of money. £700/month gets you a pretty nice Victorian house in a decent area sharing with friends. Graduate jobs make about 20-26k yr. Building trade £14-20/hr. Labourer £10hr. Min wage like 7.50
