To ask what jobs you do that earn 40k/50k plus

[TheresAlwaysAnAskHole]

As DD heads to FT school, I'm reconsidering my career. My existing career as a teacher has a salary of around £24,000 - £28,000. I am unemployed right now.

I'm wondering how quickly I can study and what jobs I can quickly move into that will bring big money.

@DontMakeMeShushYou I feel like we need a secret handshake or something

Clinical psychologist - takes around 10 years to train though.

£60k and I'm a civil servant. It is family friendly (apart from when running a bill team when you work 24 hours) but I've been here about 18 years.

Senior management team in a charity

Account manager - mid £50's.

Some sales but not targeted as such, WFH.

Company car.

Another teacher! Mid point of that bracket been teaching 13yrs and have a TLR for pastoral responsibility.

Have earned over that for quite a few years. First business development/account management in digital advertising firms & digital media agencies. Now as a product manager in digital marketing firm (part of the tech team). Virtually non existent technical skills (can't code etc) but I know the industry in and out now. It's definitely doable, you don't even need a marketing qualification. Business development in particular can be very lucrative as you get paid commission; I used to double my salary with it. Account manager earns less (25-35k) but I was heading up a team by my 3rd job and earned more than your bracket.

DP works as a consultant in regulatory finance and earns a fair bit more than that, but it's taken quite a while to get there and you need a legal background.

Senior management role in a digital marketing agency - 15 years experience - I earn in the mid 80s

@FASH84 I’m curious now about who you are! We may well have met...

Also in my current job, one of our developers was a maths teacher until last year, did a course online for coding and got a job that way. He says earns more than teaching and better hours. He has 2 young kids and a teacher wife. We also have semi flexible hours and unlimited holidays which are a bonus. He'll be on less than £50k now but in a couple of years would be around there I think.

Specialist civil servant for science but I can't say it was quick to get to my position. I needed a science degree followed by 5 years minimum in industry before you would be considered. Also only about 1 job advertised every 2 years or so as people don't move/leave as its a great job with good flexibility

Lots of digital marketing people here

I'm a civil servant. I did a graduate scheme that led to a grade 7 role - FT pay is just under 49k (in the regions - more in London). It's flexible and I don't work beyond my contracted hours. BUT - there were 15,000 applicants for 120 jobs when I applied and it gets more competitive every year.
DH works in IT but has been doing it for 20 years and really knows his shit - earns well into 6 figures and works from home, but this has taken a lot of time and wouldn't be something you could just walk into.

22 year old DS is a Meng in mech eng and earns £52k on the south coast- there is a huge shortage of engineering types round there

Another one for contracting IT infrastructure project manager over 100k and long term contracts are common.

Seeing lots of great roles here, would love suggestions of how to make the move. It's a minefield.

I earn more than double your aspirational range as a head.
