To ask what you do and what you earn?

[ChaiTeaChai]

Apart from the fact I'm curious, making a career change. My heart is in midwifery but the pay is bad. I'm money motivated so know I could do something I'm less passionate about if it meant more money.

Currently doing an access course.

@Biggobyboo I'm sure everyone's told you already, but on mn the crowd tends to be highly educated. Surely you should be pleased that there are women in top jobs doing well? No?

Mortgage adviser in the midlands - £45k (employed)

Run my own business with turnover of £100k and £25k profits

[Isawthesignanditopenedupmyeyes]

I’m a GP, work 5 sessions a week and take home £1490 a month, so the same as a band 5 nurse. I trained for 10 years to be a GP. My salary is standard for a salaried GP

[MisfitNotMissFit]

About £70k pa (includes a bonus) no degree, doing contract and commercial negation for an investment company.

Love it - I get paid to "debate" (aka argue) with people in a nice way.

[Craftycorvid]

Therapist and earn absolute bobbins at present! Not even my tax threshold. But I love what I do and I get by.

[Kim82]

I’m a part time GP receptionist working 28 hours a week and I earn roughly £14,000 a year. Not much but the hours are good when it comes to sorting childcare with Dh, they’re very flexible and accommodating and it’s only 4 mins away from home so I can’t complain too much.

@Janesmom what area of law, if you don't mind me asking? Is that around normal for a city lawyer? Am considering a move to a city firm

@MrOnionsBumperRoller - are you self employed ? I want DD to get into tattooing she’d be great

[MisfitNotMissFit]

Oh - age early forties, not in London, three kids (all whilst I was employed by this company) and free parking, good pension contributions, private healthcare, excellent annual leave alliance and all that jazz.

I started off in the call centre at £12,600pa and worked my way up. Now wfh 60% of the week.

Out of interest how many hours is a session? How can you only earn the same as a band 5?

Last year I was on 31K as an Administrator in the public sector. This year it is zero as I am a SAHP now.

To the pp who said that Train drivers get 50k. It's around 55k now in London and you can be a member of a very powerful union which means they do have preferential treatment in comparison to Station staff. It can be isolating and lonely when you're on the train though so not for everyone and unfortunately you get a few gruesome incidents around this time of the year.

[ChrisPrattsFace]

@Maneandfeathers it’s incredibly disheartening when we do the training we do, with the responsibility we have, for such little pay.
Our receptionist get paid the same/better.

And I would also say that at least once a day someone comments on how we’re money grabbing!

I’ve read it strongly denied by the universities still offering the 18 month courses that it is being phased out.

[mintcorneto]

I work in a local preschool. My take home pay is around £1,100 every 4 weeks. I work 25 hours a week over 5 mornings. Huge pay drop from my last job but I swapped careers to have a better work life balance and I love it
