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.

Name change for this.

Ecologist 40k ish with an Environmental degree.

Childminder. Actual hourly income varies as sometimes may only have two or three children, holidays and afternoons may have six; but around that annually.
But self employed, clients can leave at the drop of a hat, no sick pay, I have to buy resources and food etc, plus the cost of my electric.

When I was on £35-40k I was a junior Bid Manager, managing the end-to-end competitive process of winning new contracts of work for a professional services firm.
I have a degree in a totally unrelated subject.

Social Worker. I have 2 degrees. My first one opened doors for me in Social Care. My second degree is in Social Work.

Why?

Do you not think a self-employed person should be charging more than the equivalent PAYE rate?

You seem to think you deserve to earn more than a cleaner.

Why is it upsetting?

Be a cleaner then if it makes you less upset.

I work as a post natal doula and maternity night nanny

Freelance Editor, around £35 - £40 ph, but £30 ph for longterm regular work.

No relevant degree, just a really, really good editor 😂

Contract manager civil service. I don't have a degree.

Chartered Management Accountant on £40k.
This is actually very low relatively speaking for my qualifications and experience, but I’m very fussy about commute times and now work solely from home. No amount of money would tempt me back to an office.

I was a junior marketer in London on this salary, I had a degree and masters.

I know earn £100 an hour freelance but this is without pension, holiday, sick pay etc

But there's lots of money to be had in this industry

Police staff (not police officer), no degree
OH - no qualifications at all, fish monger

Im a qualified dog trainer. But part time.

Now* wish there was an edit button

Engineer

I have a degree, but it is not in Engineering

Degree, Masters and 2 other post-grads. I work for a government.

Policy and Governance manager, financial services.
No degree, university drop out.

Yep I'm the same currently on maternity as well

Recruitment Specialist, do degree.

Childminder. Theoretically I could earn £45k if I worked 5 days a week with max number of children but I'd be a wreck. Currently work 4 days & still rethinking my life choices!

Safeguarding Lead in a secondary school. I have two degrees.

I have a niche role making sure businesses pay their bills for a region of the country. Plus process improvement, and I lead others in making sure this happens and developing forward plans for it. Public sector.

Sustainability/Renewables Surveyor for an Housing Association

I am also confused by the upset teacher. Would you prefer to clean all day? Because you could but you wouldn't get paid holidays, sick pay, holidays etc.

Don't get why people are getting huffy!
Teachers have to have obtained a degree, often postgrad too, have responsibility for lives all day and have to take work home.
No disrespect to being a cleaner and very likely their customers think they're worth their weight in gold but the two are not comparable in terms of responsibility and skills.
