what else could I get into besides lab work with my degree

If i finish in may i will have an hons degree in analytical chemistry and quality management, I have seen ads by a company called hunter marshall looking for recruitment consultants however they require a hons degree in anything and I think you have to get above 2:1, the money quoated was 100-150k which is unbelieveable, is there a catch? sales I suppose is another area, are there any others that can be lucrative?

Have you zero ethics, the ability to lie and the ability to sleep at night while messing around candidates?
If so Juan this sounds like an ideal job, and ideal training for a political career

Now first of all you won't be doing any consulting as a "recruitment consultant." It's a sales job, pure and simple

As a graduate, if you get 35k I'd say you've done fantastically well for yourself. Possibly extra if you hit targets.
No graduate job in Ireland offers 100k, you're not working for Goldman Sachs after all.

Anyways, you trained in science so why work in sales?
It's your own choice but they are very different fields. Have you any experience of sales?
Some people just aren't suited to it.

Maybe you should go for travelling for a while and enjoy life. Then when you come back you will be able to focus on what really interests you.
