Out of college w/ extended diploma - what kind of wages to expect?

Hello all
I've recently finished my extended diploma in Computing and now applying for jobs around me - a lot of them are like managing online retail stores and web development/systems management type jobs. I've applied at one company which has come back with a wage if I accept it (is this even normal? have never heard of this before). I'd get around 20000 after tax (live in London). I've looked around and found I could make a lot more (after training, etc) going into the RAF. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do in computing, just want somewhere with opportunity - what would be my best course of action?
Thanks

There probably is a UK version of this sort of thing.
Secondly, when you say college degree, can we double check you mean a Level 3 BTEC, and not an "American college" degree which is an university undergraduate degree/BTEC Level 4-7?
A lot of answers could change drastically if those two pieces of information aren't correct, so I'll wait for you to reply.
