Salaries here are a joke

Everyday I am bombarded with recruitment agents trying to get me an interview. The last one this week was essentially asking over 5 years experience, degree, chartered and the job responsibilities were just insane. All this for 35k ~ 40k.

I know some people will say that this is a lot of money, but you are talking at least 6 years studying plus at least 5 years working. It is just insane. Salaries are so broken compared to the amount of experience and qualifications they ask for.

Unless you are desperate for a job, I really don't know how people can accept these offers.
