How old are you and how much do you earn?

[JourneyofSelfImprovement]

Sorry I know it's nosy obviously if you don't want to answer that's fine!

It's more to give me inspiration that at my age (29) I will actually at some point be able to get myself a job that's on more than minimum wage (work in retail now).

I'm educated to degree level and have lots of skills I could transfer, but have zero self confidence. I want nice things though (sunny holidays, newer car, savings etc) so the reality is I need to find myself a higher paid job!

48, £72k, STEM profession.

Im 20 and on 20k.

My uncle is 30 and earns 110k..i wanna go down that route!

35 and completely dependent on the welfare system.

53 and earn 36k full time in London. Degree, MA and PhD.

It would be interesting to hear what jobs you have

I’m not British so very happy to state my age and salary

I’m 36 and my salary is £91k. I don’t have a degree, but ended up doing a lot of qualifications related to the role I fell in to. I absolutely love my job, and pinch myself that I get paid so much to do it.

When I was your age, I was on £45k but hated my job. I left (literally walked out with another job to go to), ended up joining a start-up for a 6 week contract, and then became one of their first ten employees. They grew very quickly, and I was lucky to be able to pretty much design my own job.

I also do some freelance work linked to a qualification I gained, mainly to keep the required CPD hours up so I can retain my accreditation. I do this one day a month and it brings in about £10k a year.

Additionally, I also have a little side hobby that generates online sales which can vary from £3k - £8k a year, depending on how much sweat I’m willing to put in to it.

I’m 24 and make just shy of £20,000 plus a very modest bonus. Educated to degree level.

I'm 41. I work for a publicly-owned city transport company. I earn too much. Pick a number and add £10k. I'm British and squirming

Focusing on your personal development rather than others earnings is probably more helpful to you. As others have suggested, begin by working out what you would love and then build a plan around that.

It worked for me, Age: 45 Salary: 130k

Best of luck!

44 around £12k. Work 3 days a week due to ill health and childcare. Absolutely love my job (running a community centre) do lots of free work. We get by and I know what I do means something and I enjoy it.

35 and I am in a compliance role. £60k pa

46 and about 15k. Very happy and wouldn't want to go back to full time stress.

I'm 38 and until a couple of years ago my earnings had been about the same amount in thousands for quite some time. (Well, started aged 22 on about £14k but then was on about £20k by 24, £26k by 26). I'm now on about £45k (though pro rata less than this) and it does please me to have overtaken my age!

(I have a degree and work in the public sector - still in the same sector I went into straight after uni).

46 and earn £80k part time
Had to work for much less full time though for 10 years to get this!

46. I have a degree and lots of vocational qualifications, never been a day unemployed. 13k.

40 with a degree and masters. Just returning to employment after 12 years off. Currently work 4 days per week 5 hours per day for £280 per week. I do supply for learning support so won't always have a regular income.

Just turned 29, last year I earned £130k with my own business. Had a baby so not on that now! I have a BA and an MA / unrelated to my job.
