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

Just being nosey!

Ah you lot are rubbish! I was looking forward to being nosey too.
Me = Nurse, 19 hours about £21000 Pa.

Plus obviously naff all for my FT job of being a mum.

yes our pay scales in the charity sector have been frozen for years too - we're also graduates with lots of years of experience.

Its shocking the levels of pay though tbh I would rather work 9-5 for £15, 000 a year than earn £80, 000 and have to work 60+ hours.

I value my free time and family time more than money and a big house.

disclaimer may change my mind when in my own house with bills to pay.

I work in finance and am on £30k a year basic for a 35 hour week.

I am selfish mare, I want the big house and the free time.

I work as a dinner lady(lunchtime supervisory assistant) 3 days a week. That gets me a grand total of £115 per month!

300k + bonus. I think I don't need to tell what I do for a living. :-)

Doctor, 6 yrs in, £47000 (I get extra due to the %age unsociable hours I do)

Full time carer of two dc with autism.

Salary? Not nearly enough, in common with all other Carers.

I'm a fashion merchandiser during the week mon-fri and a live in nanny at the weeked fri eve-mon morning.

approx. 88 hours a week plus travel and earn about £42,000 a year on average. But I work 7 days a week, so its all relative innit?

Sw1x- I wanna know!!Plz do tell...

I think the media have a lot to answer for. Everyone thinks as a doctor I'm loaded, most of my doctor friends are in receipt of family tax credit! Doctor payscales are easily googleable and they are nowhere near as high as everyone thinks. I qualified in 2007 by the way so quite a lot of experience for my £34k worth.
On the other hand people think nurses and midwives are poorly paid- my friends in these professions generally take home more than me.

ACA Accountant, 1.5 years post qual so 4.5 years total. Big 4. London. 50k plus bonus (4k last year)

Business Analysts can earn from £35K(junior) - £100K+ (usually contractor). I am not junior but not a contractor so fall in that range. I tend to work 37.5 hours per week, sometimes a bit more.

Pre DC I was an editorial assistant- I left in 2006 and my wage was 12k.

Childminder.... 250 per week pre tax and damages!!

I am a geologist and earn 53,000 p/a

knackered DH is doctor,so understand what you mean but if and when you reach consultant or GP level you will be earning more than your nurse friends.
I am nurse of 25 yrs experience,btw

whois - i'm big 4 too

Foster carer. I am classed as self employed and earn £25 per week for a baby and £125 per week for a teenager. I get some expenses on top. No sick pay, holidays or moments to myself, no pension scheme either. Bit shit really. I used to work as a Research Fellow in the NHS for about £36k per year, and a psychotherapist for £ 45 an hour.

I clean houses for £15 an hour.

I'm a locum optometrist and charge £220/ day.

I'm an interim project mananager and earn £400 a day. Earned more as a lapdancer. Earned less as a cleaner. Swings and roundabouts, I suppose.

Research scientist, £31k salary plus pro rata for teaching. This is after 7 years at university (BSc + PhD) and a couple of years post-university experience. I will reach the top of my grade soon so my salary won't increase further unless I get a permanent position - these are rarer and more prized than unicorn shit, so I may be faced with retraining in my 30s :(

Lots.

$66k for 3 days a week I am a manager in the mining industry.

DH earns much much more than that for IT in a bank.

Maximum money for minimum effort is our goal.
