Query regarding Tier(2) General visa

[soni86]

Hello Friends,

I am here on a Tier(4) student visa doing Masters in Computer Science. My student visa is going to end in Sept 2016. I currently work 20 hours in a restaurant and that restaurant is on approved sponsor list. They can actually give me a full time job after completion of my studies.

Do I need to find a job related to my degree for Tier(2) general visa Or i can take up a full time job of £22,000 and can work in that restaurant?

As per this document https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/switch-to-this-visa
You must have got your qualification at a UK recognized body or an institution that has a Tier 4 sponsor licence. I guess the Salary doesn't matter but its safer to get a job that's more rewarding

What is the job role the restaurant is proposing you are going to do?
Does it truly meet the NQF 6 requirement..... I would very much doubt it....
