What's your salary?

[Maximomm]

Occupation and salary please.

I'll start

I'm a Personal Trainer. £60K

God I hear you. I’m on similar. I end up working through my break and dinner most days as well as doing an hour extra each day, plus days in the holidays for free, just to keep up with the workload. 45 hours a week for what, £1200 a month take home or summat rubbish like that. I can’t see me staying there longterm. The stress isn’t worth it for that, and now the longer holidays don’t make up for it now my kids are older and I’m on my own all summer holidays. The fact I can’t take leave when I actually NEED to is also really starting to piss me off.

what do you do now?

@PepperTreeNews

If boring, technical, highly skilled jobs didn't pay well, nobody would do them. Why would they? They might as well go and work in something 'fulfilling'.

You can call those people 'greedy', but they're the people that keep the system working - IT, electrical grid, gas and oil extraction, transport, etc.

Out of interest, is this private or state? Seems quite high for a teacher salary.

Rich people can only be motivated by carpet-bombing them with cash.

Poor people can only be motivated by taking money from them.

                                                           Every UK government since the millennium.

I'm always suspicious when the OP posts and leaves...

Why do some ppl insist that ppl are bullshitting? Most of these job titles and salaries are believable (bar a few 😆) Now whether that person earns them or not is debatable but someone does!) I for one wasn’t lying…it’s not worth lying about to be honest is it?

Me too, with no explanation of why. But everyone seems to want to answer so we're in the minority here.

Senior admin worker in a GP surgery £24k.

Nowhere near enough to deal with the shit I deal with.

£8.5K - Part time Early Years Practioner.

40,000 first post grad job …am happy!

£13k, part time admin for children's social care. Full time is £21k which is shocking considering the workload, sensitive information and upsetting content that we deal with.

My kids are grown up and i have a mortgage so there's literally nothing

1 gazillion pounds an hour and all my kids are geniuses. My house is so big I've still not seen it all

I would love to look at the mumsnet 'customer insight demographics' - what's the mean average household income of people who engage on mumsnet.
The average household income in the UK is £36k.
I work at a fairly 'posh' brand where our customers household income is £55k.

God knows where mumsnet is

Global head of martech

£135k a year (plus bonus)

MN as a whole would be fairly low, long gone are the days of this being a MC site.

Posts like these won’t attract those on low or no salary which there are a lot of on MN

I don't get the 'don't pay tuition fees' stuff at all

There's no way my kids won't earn the threshold. Why would they unless unwell etc? They all want to into business / IT / science (maths type) fields

We've said will only fund either vocational degrees, business or IT. That's it. If they want to do a hobby degree that's fine but they pay of do a night course at college. If they want to be a teacher they can learn on the job. The tuition fees don't match up to the salary after.

Our choice what we find but I don't want my kids growing up in poverty or without choices. Life's why you make it (the aspects you can control, several you cannot). May totally fail who knows

Ex princess, 100 million for making some boring documentaries.

Primary teacher, £47k

No, the liars are obvious, some people earn high, some low, and many in between. We don’t live in a communist society

Freelance editor/specialist writer, around £9000/year. Like @Bpdqueen , I’m also not entitled to any benefits, at least according to an online gvmt questionnaire I did. I think it’s because I own a house (I pay an internet only mortgage with my husband) but it’s in London so it’s now worth about 800k (even though it’s a modest house!).

I’ve been looking into getting other work, perhaps one full time job, to replace all the freelancing. So thanks for this thread op, since I’d been considering recruitment, since job ads claim it can bring a big salary (this doesn’t seem to be the case based on PPs!).

And I won’t pay it for several reasons despite being more than able to. It’s for them to invest in their own future and understand that it’s a serious commitment. The repayments are really a small proportion of their salary and if they don’t work for whatever reason they never pay it back. I am in virtually no doubt whatsoever that they’ll earn over the threshold and I would far rather give them the £27k towards a house deposit (they have that too). The idea of them having a debt doesn’t bother me a bit. It’s a tax really, not a debt and therefore in my opinion utter madness to pay upfront

Thanks all, so interesting to learn about other people's jobs and their income as there's no way I'd ask that to someone in RL.

Personally I also think NHS workers (nurses and children's psychiatric unit - sorry goldfish memory) and teachers deserve so much more. I have always wondered why those in finance earn so much more than the general population.🤔
