What was your salary when you were in your early 20's... what is it now?

[HotGirlSummer]

What was your salary when you were under 25 (what job were you doing?) and what do you do now?

£14000 in my early 20s, £55000 now

Early 20s, graduate in IT £14k (mid-90s)
Late 40s, 2 part-time bookkeeping jobs and carers allowance, 9.5k

At 16 I was paid in cash weekly. 2k annually.
Now in my 50's it's 30k

I actually earned quite a lot in my early 20s I had a tax free PhD stipend of £17000 and I worked bloody hard holding down two part time retail jobs as well. Probably earned about 30000 in total with all.

I then went up the ladder through university and am now on just shy of 60k 31y.

18 minimum wage about £4.50 an hour (2007)
22 21k NQ nurse
31 32k without unsocial more senior nurse

The first year out of unit at 25 I made £55k and six years on I will probably gross about the same, but generally work less for it.

Graduate in 1995 £12k advertising sales.

Early 30s £38k but bonus increased that to 50 to 60k. Plus company car.

Mid 40s now and earn 19.5k full time

20s horse groom £300pw
40s single mum waitressing around school hours £100pw sometimes less

First job in 1998, 6.5k for full time. No idea how I lived on that but I did, and I was not living with my parents either! Now I am self employed earning around 45k.

Early to mid 20s - £11k - £15k civil servant.

Mid 30s - £30k same job different role (several promotions later). But this will half soon once I have my baby and go part time.

Will never have another wage rise sadly as I doubt I can get any higher.

22- Law Society Minimum (13k I think)
24- 30k (went straight in-house on qualification)
40- 225k plus nice things like bonuses and shares (general counsel)

I've been very, very lucky and DH always did the childcare as a SAHD.

Never, ever felt so rich as when I moved from 13k to 30k though.
