to think that as an experienced midwife I should earn more than a window cleaner?

[whatinthewhatnow]

My mum's window cleaner charges £18 for an hour's work. I get £17. Does society really value window cleaners more than midwives?

In no way showing off, and this rarely happens, but I did dramatically save a teeny life on wednesday. It was really fricking scary. I work so hard, my women seem to really like me and I really do try so hard for them. I feel totally undervalued and stressed and I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth it, for £17 a bloody hour. FFS. .

I'm always curious as to what people where searching for when they find these zombie threads.

The window cleaner has to source clients, risk his physical safety climbing ladders, work outdoors, provide own equipment and insurance etc. You are not unreasonable to want a pay rise but to compare yourself to the window cleaner because the job appears to you to be menial.

methe are you in the UK? that is less than minimum wage! Care work is paid so badly, it drives me mad, you should earn way more!!!
