To ask what you do if you earn £18-22 per hour?

[pokeball]

£18-£22 per hour is about £35-40k per year.

If this is your hourly rate can I ask what you do?

I have a feeling there will be a whole spectrum of jobs from shop supervisor to cleaner to call centre to teacher to nurse.

Purely asking out of curiosity to see the range and possibly the education level you'd need to earn this. Maybe say if you have a degree or not.

I write policies.
I have a degree.

Bookkeeper I don't have a degree

I'm a mental health nurse.

I do admin work for a plastic surgeon which I do on a freelance basis. £25 an hour

When I was on the equivalent of £19 p/h I was a junior marketing executive, working in digital marketing writing emails and managing the company's regional social media presence.

I do have a degree, and the job wasn't entry level, it required 1-3 years of experience which I built up by freelancing.

Nanny to two children. Its £15 per hour but I work 50 hours a week or more. I have a Level 3 childcare qualification from working in nurseries after leaving school and have to do regular firstbaid training. Also a full driving licence. Some families let me use their car, some want me to use my own so I have to check every time I get a new post but otherwise its a good job. Free food during the day and all mileage paid for.

My earnings are in a different range but if you’re looking for inspiration about roles in that bracket, my cleaner charges £20/hr and is in very high demand.

I'm a front end Web developer. I do have a degree but not in anything related, and a degree was not part of the job requirements.

Im a senior midwife, in charge of a labour suite

Pretty sure DH earns around that as a project manager - no degree but a PM qualification and relevant experience.

£36.50 an hour - freelance copywriting
£10.00 an hour - online 'live chat' support

No degree, but both income streams would not be possible without my accreditation wtih professional bodies which has required in person written and practical assessment, and on-going annual CPD.

Official education level, 7 B grade GCSE - equivalent self study however, A-level, possibly a bit higher (I have had to produce multiple correctly referenced essays on the subject matter in question).

However, the freelance stuff is a high rate because its only a handful of hours a month, a day, a day and a half sometimes, two if I am realllllllllly lucky.

The lower paid stuff is more regular, 12 - 18 hours a week, still self employed.

On top of that I have several passive income streams and I take on private clients and have royalties from book sales (for now anyway!)

Self employed bookkeeper and accountant, and work solely from home

When I was earning that I was an IT consultant and no degree. And I learnt on the job - could barely switch a computer on when I started. I did have the relevant business experience though for the area the IT was concerned with which was quite specialised.

DD1 did a STEM subject degree and works as a management consultant. Uses maths & analysis skills all day - thinking about it she earns more than that now.

DD2 is a grad trainee for a large company - STEM degree & has a company car as well as salary in that range.

Other young women I know who earn around that work in marketing, all have degrees.

DS did an engineering degree and is a grad trainee and earns less (didn’t get such good A levels or go to such a good university as his sisters).

Currently a site surveyor / designer for electrical supplies.
In that range plus company car
No degree

I'm a teacher. My salary is roughly £33k and I work 4 days a week over 39 weeks of the year. Usually 10 hour days at least, plus extra at evenings/weekends. So approx £21. I could earn nearly the same as a cleaner?! 😩 This is really upsetting.

Legal advisor for a local authority, yorkshire

Lung Specialist Nurse. Also a trainer and mentor to junior staff. Initial degree, post graduate diploma, many many many other courses and years of experience.

35k on the nose
Youth worker full time and part time cleaning mornings/evenings
2 degrees

Most cleaners I know charge £12-15ph and don't get paid for more than 6 or 7 hours work a day even if they're available for work. They don't make any money when travelling between jobs and people can cancel at very short notice. So I think your annual salary, even on 4 days a week, would be much higher overall than most cleaners.

@Wardrobemalfunction22 Thank you. All fair points. The holidays are a benefit that I hadn't factored in too I suppose.

Assurance associate - checking polices/process work and are being followed. No degree - transferred skills over from public to private sector

I work at a local council. I have a degree and am qualified in the sector. The pay is not amazing but the other benefits are good.

I run my own cleaning company, £22 per hour cleaning offices, I take pride in my work and have a long waiting list of clients who want me after seeing my work, I set my own hours and still get time to do the school runs.
I also have a law degree but I've never used it.

Scottish police officer. £22 an hour at top of the wage scale which is £45k with eleven years’ service.
