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.

Contract Manager, no degree
Started in my industry by accident at 18 and gradually worked up from data entry to admin to account manager to contract manager. Been on £40k for about 6 years now though.

Clerk to governors at a primary school.

Executive Assistant, no degree.

Yes. Agreed. I'm a cleaner. I charge £15 per hour. Some might think that's a lot. I am very much in demand and never short of work. However, I don't get holiday or sick pay. I pay tax. I pay insurance. I pay for all my equipment, including my car, which I travel job to job in. I try to keep all my jobs in the same area. But that's not always possible. My customers will cancel at last minute, and go on holiday, and I will not be paid. (Except by 1 lovely man) So it doesn't end up being well paid in the end. I do it because it was the only job that worked around the children, and I kind of like it now. The only things I don't like are, my fingers, shoulder and knees are shot. So I can't work more than 5/6 hours a day. I work 4 days a week by choice. Also, some people look down on you. Not my customers though. They are lovely.

NHS Data Support/Analyst. No degree

And your public sector pension.

University Admin.
No degree

Personal trainer

i have a degree but not in the same field.

Data and funding manager in a local authority, on £28 per hour. I have a degree and have worked my way through the ranks over 21 years

I used to be an SpLD tutor in HE. Zero hours contracts are currently £32-£45ph for remote working. There’s plenty of work in term time, which makes it a great job around small children.

It requires a degree and a PG Cert.

Tattoo artist £90 p/h

Mid level civil service. I have a degree but it’s nothing to do with my job.

Band 7 nurse £23 per hour basic more for unsocial hours eg nights and weekends.

NHS Podiatrist, I needed a specialised degree to do this.

Midwife, but that wage has taken me 10 years to get. Started off on just over £10.50 ph in 2008. I'm at the top of my banding with no room to get higher unless I want a managerial role (I don't - it isn't worth an extra 1k per year for all that stress and additional responsibility). Midwives start on £13.84 ph now.

I earn 24£ ph as a Customer service manager

I do have a degree but started entry level role 7 years ago so it might not be relevant

I "only" work 35 hours per week too

Shows that this is a very diverse party bracket doesn't it!

I'm on £32k so a bit under. Environmental work for a government agency. Degree, masters, 18yrs relevant experience. I don't think it's great, but stay for the flexibility around family life.

Personal trainer (some of the time) and writer (also some of the time).

Both £40 an hour (ish). Writing work probably a bit more. (I charge by the day for that, not hourly.) PT work nets out at about £25/30 an hour once you factor in the extra planning work for each client before and after sessions.

I have a degree for the writing, although it's my career experience since the degree that has pushed up my day rate.

The PT qualification is the equivalent of an NVQ L3, plus many hours of client experience for certain specialisms and extra qualifications.

Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist in the NHS. On the top of band 7, £47k. Probably £20 per hour after deductions?

Unrelated undergraduate degree, then a Masters in Social Work and then a Postgrad Diploma in CBT. It's a fantastic job, the NHS are brilliant to work for, I couldn't be happier with the job, the satisfaction, the support and the salary.

Document control in renewable energy sector at £20 per hour
Contract work through an agency so my salary is likely higher but the agency are taking a percentage

Paramedic, top of band 6 (£20.46ish p/h)
But there is unsocial and HCAS on top of that.
No degree, didn't exist when I joined 24 years ago, but I can top up if/when I want to.

I'm a mortgage adviser for a high street bank - no degree but have a simple industry qualification (CeMAP)

£23.23 senior clerical position in a large corporate, been here decades so on max pay for grade.

Just worked DPs out for last year as a newly qualified teacher. He was working 60 plus hour weeks for 40 weeks of the year (without even including the minimum of 1 day he does each holiday). It was £10.71ph. Absoultely bloody shocking. Thank fuck his wage rises, but seriously? 4 years at uni and all that debt... not to mention the stress of the job. Fucking insulting.

Head of the dept at a manufacturer.
