    Hi there,

    I just completed a level 8 postgrad in journalism and have obtained a 2.2 in commerce beforehand.

    right this is probably not the correct thread to be posting in but i cant start a new thread lately because i have less than 25 posts. Anyway im currently in 4th year biotechnology in cit and iv always been interested in forensic science and we did a module in 2nd year. im just wondering does anybody have any info on jobs in the garda crime lab in dublin such as recruitment process, workload, salary etc. i know its a public sector job but thats about it. i also got a bit of info from google but would like to know if anybody has detailed info. any replies appreciated.

    Sorry I can't help but if it makes ya feel any better I'm in much the same situation after finishing an MA! On dole at the moment and not much sign of getting off it...after two leaving certs, five years in college and spending over ten grand (just on fees) in that time it's not what I would have hoped for. But there is plenty of us in the same situation and much worse...

    "level 8 postgrad" - probably the humblest way you can say you got a PhD.
