I hate to bring my personal problems into a forum, but this just gets me so depressed.

"If you want to buy an average-priced house in Oxford, you need to earn at least £78,000 a year to get a typical mortgage."
"The situation is now so bad that thousands of people are joining housing association waiting lists in the hope of part-owning a property.
One housing group which offers shared ownership schemes has waiting lists of more than 1,000 people in every council district in the county - but said they would have to wait "years, rather than months" for a home."
What am I supposed to do? The only biotech research jobs are in Oxford, Cambridge or London, and I am wasting about £10K a year on rent
. I have no idea how this is going to get better without some huge house-price crash. Change career? I have been studying for this for 7 years!
