To ask your occupation and how much you earn....

[Cannierelax]

Just being nosey!

As well as doing the stuff EarlyInTheMorning mentioned :o

YABU it is rude to ask someones salary.
FWIW I am a SAHM previously I was a nursery nurse (fully qualified) and earned £9708 a year doing 27.5 hours a week.

My mother always said talk of money, politics and religion is vulgar and not for polite company. She was usually right!

So OP, flagrantly disregarding my mothers advice - what do you do, and what do you earn?

Womble

Finders, keepers!

I don't see why people are touchy about money . It matters to some people and the OP may be thinking about careers and it matter how much she earns.

Enough to spend quality time with my children and not have to worry about money but not as much as the job is worth.

Charity manager - £28,000 pro rata 30 hours, so about £22K not a lot as my title is CEO how we laugh!!

I'm a teacher, just gone through the threshold. Most people could look it up for yourselves but I get £34 000 or thereabouts. I'm really surprised that that's the same (more than) as a full time doctor!!

Again with this thread???

If the OP wants to know re careers etc, then she should say so, rather than the stated "Just being nosy".

People aren't exactly non-identifiable on here, why on earth would you post details like that just because someone wants to be nosy?

schooldidi I'm not... teachers, doctors. Both pretty vital IMO. Edited videos I'm sure we could do without :o

I don't earn anything except the odd £20 here and there when I have time to babysit. I'm a student; I have a £4K social work bursary, £1K grant and about £3K loan.

Why does it matter if people know how much you earn?

I chose my first career almost solely on wage as did my DH.

I advise young people to enquire about how much certain careers pay.

Cannierelax is a great user name.

I would expect a doctor to earn much more than me, it tends to be among the brightest that go into medicine, probably brighter on average than teachers and they take longer to qualify.

I'll tell you what I earned in my first ever job...£4.50. Not for an hour. For the whole day. In Boots in 1983

I agree Arisbottle, if there was more talk of salary, there'd be less discrepancy in the workplace in my view.
I didn't choose my career based on salary but it worked out ok for me in the end.

Since you have come back OP and clarified, I will answer.
I am the senior head in the company I work for, in the scientific discipline in which I am trained and I earn 80k per annum

I don't care if people know how much I earn. I will quite happily answer the question when pupils at school ask me. I think it's good that they are interested in how much people can earn in different careers. It helps people make choices about their future.

Aribodtle- I admire your honesty.

cannierelax-as someone who has just left social work career I would say think very carefully before giving up current job to train....

Arisbottle - that's what I thought. I wasn't bright/hardworking enough to become a doctor but I am more than bright enough to be a teacher. I just expected doctors to earn more than me because they generally ahve to be the best of the best just to get into medical school.

Most doctors will eventually earn more than most teachers,I would think

I was a hitman but now I'm a playboy model.

I earn between 5 and 10 million a year.
