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.

My actual job title is too niche. But let's say I work as a geospatial analyst. I have a doctorate but am still fairly junior. Will expect to leave that pay bracket within the next year or so.

Warehouse, antisocial hours though whilst I’m retraining, not nights. Same hourly rate as when I was an FE lecturer, but no stress and don’t take work home. I can’t fully believe it myself.

It's a bit different doing something at a set hourly rate (e.g cleaner) compared to dividing an annual salary by hours contracted to get the same amount though, isn't it?

E.g. while technically you could say that a self-employed cleaner charging £20 per hour and a teacher earning £36k a year both earn the same hourly rate, the teacher will be getting 13 weeks paid holiday, sick pay, plus pension contributions out of that whereas the cleaner only get the £20 and has to factor in materials, time in between jobs etc. Unless you do a huge clean in one place it's unlikely 8 x £20hours would actually take less than 11 hours by the time you move between different locations.

Possibly stating the obvious but it always comes to mind when people suggest self employed jobs that pay well - hourly rates often seem high because they don't include any of the extras in salaried jobs.

Anyway I earn that and work in the civil service - technically its an arms length body so not exactly the same payscale but roughly equivalent to SEO level.

Another one with their own cleaning business £20 per hour.

I’m a registered nurse and I earn 19.50ph

Investigator, no degree. Public sector so pay not the best but excellent pension, holidays, sick pay etc

Nurse in care home, £18.78 from 7am - 5pm during the week, £22.78 from 5pm - 7am, and all weekend.

I don't think you'll get many call centre jobs paying that - mine varies depending on bonus but anything from min wage to £15ph and we are pretty well paid!

Statistician within the 3rd sector. Two degrees (undergrad and masters) and PGCE. I'm at the top of your hourly band (possibly slightly over).

Work for a charity, with a BA and a Master's.

DH has no qualifications and is a retail manager in a large retail chain. Earns around £40k.

Completely wrong, misread the post. Annual pay is between £18K and £22k.

Statistician 2 degrees in maths !

Museum Assistant

No degree.

I work as a project manager in a bank.
No degree for the role but I have just done a Degree Apprenticeship via my employer to try and press on in my career.
Ended up being a waste of 4 years but my mum will get the graduation photo for Xmas!

Accountant. No degree.

Deputy ward sister. Just over £20 per hour.

Public sector lawyer

I'm a Speech and Language Therapist. I have a degree.

I agree about the sick pay/holidays for example.

So I work for myself in the fitness industry and can get anywhere between £40-£80 per hour. Which sounds a lot but there’s only so many hours I can work and it’s quite tiring! No paid holiday/pension/benefits etc. and I need to drum up my lien business.

I do have a politics degree but retrained after 2 kids.

Freelance audio engineer, small studio in my house. £25/hr, no degree but 25y experience. Part time.

Painter, part time too. £20/hour. Self taught but pretty good at it now.

Just worked out my hourly pay and it is in that range. I'm a lecturer at a Russel group university.

I'm a self employed gardener.

I have a degree in English, a PGCE, a research based Masters and a diploma in garden history.

I retrained a few years ago and now restore a collection of historic gardens. I do everything from the initial research to the planning and implememtation. Sometimes I work with a volunteer team.

I’m a childminder and I earn £6 per hour per under 5 (so £18ph).
But, I work 10 hours a day and at least 1/3 of my income goes on expenses (equipment, utilities, wear and tear on my home, food etc).
I get no holiday or sick pay and my income is very precarious.

I was a primary teacher for 20 years I am now a local authority SEND officer, I write and manage EHCPs
