"Most recruiters don't make much money but the top 20% make a LOT"

Thanks - yes, just from what I know I'm sure this is true. It seems such an over-saturated market. I know just from being a temp that when I update my CV I get called up by 50 different agencies all wanting to find me work. If there are that many people all chasing after the same candidates, and all competing to fill the same jobs, they can't all be doing well. I guess I will only find out by trying it whether it's a more lucrative career than legal secretarial work - but, it can't be any less fun, so it's worth my while trying.
