High earner like all the rest of them.

In reality my FWB is a bricklayer, salary undisclosed but a very fit body so I don't care.

He will be a high earner then 😂 enjoy the body!

Interesting.
Assisting a plumber (typically male job 48k.
Assisting a teacher (typically female job) 11k.
Funny how we value holding pipes so much more highly than teaching kids to read and write.

Why would anyone answer these sort of threads?

DiaDeLluvia · 11/12/2022 08:12

Just curious as to why this thread isn’t getting sensible replies when the other one is. It is interesting knowing what jobs people do and how much they’re paid. I’m thinking of changing career and I like these threads. Others feel the same on the women’s one clearly as they’re posting sensible replies (mostly) but on here it seems to have touched a nerve. Why?

littlehouselights · 11/12/2022 08:16

I name change often but some people don't. I'm wary of being identifiable and people knowing what I earn.

It's no one else's business.

It's used by google et al to sell advertising and I'd rather not give them any more info about me for their taxonomy

What I do is very specialised. If I said what I did beyond a generic "consultant" you'd be able to find me on the internet.

I haven't seen the other thread.

Paramedic with 33 years’ experience; been acting Team Leader for the past year. With full unsociable (for working lots of nights and weekends) brings home about £3k/month after tax. Pension will be about ½ this but he has to work to 67 to get it. When he’s on the road he specialises in people having a mental health crisis.

Perhaps because it’s disclosing someone else’s private information.

Eight pence.

Dh earns just less than 30k a year, full time, in London, in his 50s, with a degree from Oxford.

That’s awful, he should be on double that for what he does

The other thread was weird. This thread is weird. If you really want to know what salaries exist go on Indeed!

GalesThisMorning · 11/12/2022 08:52

Also if you're researching careers surely the more interesting questions are:
Does your household earn enough to sustain all members in it?
Do you enjoy your job?
Do you have a good work life balance?
How long did it take you to train/ quality for what you do?

A bunch of strangers on the internet telling you that their husband earns £14k or 400k a year helps you how exactly?

Managing director, plenty

AclowncalledAlice · 11/12/2022 09:02

Works in a warehouse. No idea how much he earns....as long as he pays his share of the bills (which he does), then I don't care.

@LadyGardenersQuestionTime

Please thank him personally from me, I doubt he will be the same person but a lovely mental health paramedic helped my dd 3 weeks ago, she has issues and they were amazing with her and stayed until i could get to her, I brought her home for a week and she is now back at her home. They saved her needing to go to hospital (again) and thankfully (thanks mostly to a friend who is an acute mental health nurse specialist) I have the skills to look after her in crisis

He invented cheese, and gets a royalty of 1p on each pack of cheese sold.

Judging by how much mine alone eats, your DP is making a fortune Grin
