    How soon do you think someone should pay you 60k?

    Would it be a problem for you to despise what you worked at, as long as you made money?

    I can't think of any jobs (non criminal) that would pay someone 60k 3 or even 6 years after starting.

    None of the traditional 'high paying' jobs would come close to those sort of figures that soon.

    Daily, if you can't find something that you love, then find something that you can tolerate that will also make you money.

    Many people find that their passion during a third level course doesn't translate into workable income in the real world, so they end up doing something like a masters conversion in computer science.

    I'm not saying do computer science, but I am saying that unless you plan on becoming a lecturer (In other words, going for a PHD and applying to colleges/universities), that going for a philosophy/gender studies degree is going to be a waste of three/four years if your life that could have been spent doing something realistic like business, STEM, archaeology or just something that can be described easily as an occupation.

    For what it's worth, I did software development and had to do some travelling. It wasn't in Dublin though, so my pay was half of what you mentioned. I'm in Dublin now though, so am expecting more. If you want that experience, do some kind of software development and apply to small software companies.
