I'm a long time a lurker and a recent poster.
Myself and DH are young (late 20's) (trainee) professionals. We are still at the very early stage of our careers, (think work experience, cups of tea, applying for placements) he is retraining and I've been working up.
We've been chatting about buying our first home together and how much we can afford, we've realised this is not very much. It's disheartening to know that I may never be able to afford the type of home/life that I want.
We aren't from traditionally professional families (working class) and don't know too many wealthy people.
So....I'm curious to know what sorts of careers people go into (it doesn't have to be you) how long does it take to get to a comfortable salary, what do wealthy people do? And how do they become wealthy? (Haha please don't send me those earn £,000,000's at home links)
Shall I retrain as my job has a ceiling and I will never earn 6 figures, what should I do, what would give me the best chances?
I've also been asked by a family friend to give advice on university courses that lead to good jobs. none. and that got me thinking more about this.
Don't wipe the floor with me please
