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

[Cannierelax]

Just being nosey!

Teacher, Upper Pay Scale 2, £35, 447. Been teaching for 9 years. Generally in school 7.30 - 5.00 then work for two hours or so each evening and most of Sunday. Plus 14 parents evenings a year and various open evenings etc.

Georgina- thanks for the kind words. I'm hanging on there having been part time for a couple of years (taking home £15k!) but just a few years left now in my GP training. I'm in an unbanded post which helps keep the hours to less than 60 pw but doesn't help with the pay!

Pollykitten out of interest are these boom times or not for interim project managers? Have you ever had a long break without a contract? I seriously considered doing it years ago but was too much of a scaredy cat!

While this threads can be car crashes occasionally, they do always highlight that the publics perception of GPs pay isn't right. I always thought they all earned £100k plus because that's how it appears in the papers.

I earn nothing. My husband earns four thousand a month (as in that what comes into the account - net? gross? I never understood...). He's a financial adviser and works a 40ish hour week.

Telecoms, £70K

FT Childminder £19k year. Tries not to get too depressed that the last time I posted on one of these threads I worked 3 days a week as an estate agent on £60k

There does seem to be quite a lot of interim manager work around at the moment. If you're willing to travel then you can drastically increase your options.

Teacher with management responsibility, about £41k

I'm a Mummy and I get paid in kisses! Thousands of them a day...

(tries to be positive :) )

Teacher, with small responsibility point for key stage three English. £33 thousand.

carpetbagger surely with your children's input your income will increase to become comparable with teaching.........

Teacher upper payscale 1, part-time (60%), £20,508.60 pa
Full time on same payscale would be £34,181 (no extra responsibility). If I had stayed FT and kept pre-DC modest responsibility, without being promoted further, I would be on about £40K.

I'm a sw and what people say about the hours are true - some weeks you may leave on time others could be another 30 hours.
It's also not a 9-5 mon-fri anymore as I'm aware of one la who have changed all contracts to 7 days a week!

You wouldn't enter sw for the pay/hours/working conditions. Pay can start as low as 20k and tbh although the media always say 30k I don't know a newly qualified who earns that.

Depends what you want to do in sw as the jobs vary so much

Vet - 22 hours a week plus 1 in 8 weekends. Basic salary of 21.5K plus roughly 2K bonus. Pretty crap after 13 years and significantly less than most of the clients think I get when they're blaming me for the cost of treatment

novice The papers are quoting GP Partner's pay,very often circa £100k
They are essentially self emplyed practitioners running their own business with all that that entails.
Salaried GPs earn less,they are employees so do not have the responsibility of employing staff,maintaining premises etc.

Scientist, PhD. 33k

Dominatrix.

Earnings - whatever I fucking tell you to pay, slave.

I think these threads are really interesting, such variety. I'm always surprised how little science jobs attract!

Project Manager in software delivery earning c. £55k. That's on a permanent rather than contract basis.

I thought GP's earn more as well, I'm in the creative industry v.senior (the boss) and can earn 150k+, It's my own business so depends on how much I need to put back in to the business year on year, and I work 24/7, evenings, weekends, but love my job.

An NQT in Scotland earns £21 438.

Thanks Sorrell!

Thanks Georgina, yes someone else mercifully explained that to me before on a similar thread. Employee gps must be so cross every time the myth is peddled in the papers.
