    I used to manage a few independent PC shops in Cardiff a few years ago. They went bang. I Dj for a living in Clubs and I am in university at moment studying social work.

    I loved fixing pc's and all that, but the market got flooded and the web killed off the indi shops.

    The standard of living is pretty high respectivly in SH, HK and Xiamen, doesnt really compare to a UK city though.
    Personally my standard of living is good, I'm well paid, 20meg unmetered internet and my house is paid for.

    No, I don't need the second job at all, my 'main' job, which is 20 hours a week worked mainly over the weekend pays me a monthly salary which is atleast 3x that of which I need to live comfortably and my second job pays me double that so its more about just taking the cash while its there.

    You really dont come out here for luxury, it is, by and large a shit hole but you can live a unique and interesting day to day life if it fits you. It's certainly not for everyone but I love it here and would never go back to my old life.

    These threads always make me chuckle. Those with good jobs (or good sounding jobs) always post, and those of us who work in McDonalds are too ashamed to. Plus us burger flippers feel even worse as it looks like everyone but us has an amazing job
