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

[Cannierelax]

Just being nosey!

Press officer - a little over £35,000, full time and in central London.

carpetbagger are you a graduate with four years of university behind you?

Marius- did you retrain?

Would you like us to earn less carpetbagger?

I earn what I do because I am in quite a senior position, I think a top of the payscale teacher earns about 10K less than me.

I'm surprised this hasn't lured marriedinwhite out of her exile.

I will probably out myself as a greedy mare, but the teaching salary was the absolute lowest I was going to go and it almost put me off going into teaching.

Inlaw- can I ask how many years experience you have and how much you earn? do you feel there's still plenty of demand for it?

Nanny - 18k for a 30 hour week.

This thread made me think back to what I was earning when I started out in 1985 and it was just over 2k for a 50 hour week!

GP part-time, salaried, 30k. been a gp for approx 9 yrs. If I worked full-time salaried I would be earning about 67k.

Specialist community nurse 20,000 doing 26 hours.

I'm a Nanny. Basic salary is 33k for 52 hours.

Carpetbagger - why not start researching and training to become a teacher?

Scientist. Experienced. Fairly well qualified (MSc and relevant prof body stuff). £23k. And that's really quite good unless you work for the government.

Don't go into ecology unless you really don't give a toss about money!

'Head of Procurement'? Um, GetOrf... Are you a pimp?

Teachers' pay scales are soon to be extinct if that cheeky little scamp Govey gets his way.

Doctor, full time (around 50 hours on average per week), £34k.

£50k circa, Bid Manager

I'm a bookseller
because I work for myself I currently earn nothing (last tax year I earned -£3k ish)

when I was an employed bookseller, iwas a senior bookseller and earned about £12k

staff nurse in the community, one year qualified, 30 hours a week - approx £21k (including weekend allowances and lonfon fringe allowance)

Doctors don't start earning a lot of money until consultant or GP grades.
I mean GP partners,not salaried.

Some of the careers on here are jobs that I feel are so important that people doing them deserve so much more money (teachers, nurses, childcare providers) e.t.c...I'm shocked at what some of them pay.

sahm so nothing personally,but I married a rich older man so whats his is mine! :-)

Shocked at doctor and gp earnings
