Done. A couple of the average salaries surprised me I admit.

I'm the latest (and hopefully the luckiest)

flapperghasted Thu 21-Jun-12 07:34:12

done. And agree avge salaries not right, surely?

poorbuthappy Thu 21-Jun-12 09:05:13

Done, but how could the ave salaries be wrong? Surely it is taken from official sources? Or just made up? smile

BIWItheBold Thu 21-Jun-12 09:09:50

Averages can seem 'wrong' because they take into account the lowest as well as the highest salaries.

Therefore the figures for lawyers and accountants - the ones that made me go hmm the most - presumably also include all those right at the bottom of the scale as well, who earn about 3/6 when they first start out.

mrspink27 Thu 21-Jun-12 09:19:21

done - the salaries cant include bonuses and incentive schemes though can they? The estate agent must be on commission surely?

ProfCoxWouldGetIt Thu 21-Jun-12 09:22:06

Done - but it would have been nice to have the ability to add comments to justify our views.

Iggly Thu 21-Jun-12 09:39:26

They're not wrong then - just averages are misleading. Perhaps modal figures would be better.
