To ask how I can become "rich"?

[raincabin]

I know this sounds ridiculous.

I would like to be a high earner, I grew up working class and my knowledge in this area is lacking. I have tried to do my own research but found it difficult, with a lot of opposing answers and many sites/people just trying to sell!

I am doing a midwifery degree, I have always been academic and considered law but I knew I would find it boring.

What can I/should I do so that I can become a high earner?

I dream of nice cars, holidays and not having to worry about stretching until the end of the month. I'd also love to be able to send DC to private school.

I am open to anything.

Oh, just had another thought. Private practice in allied health?

I thought about investment banking although not so much as getting rich, more as the thrill and intrigue playing the markets.

as for rich rich, I need a lotto win

you haven’t explained your thinking behind combining midwifery with a rich lifestyle, no

You clearly haven't read my other posts or, struggle with comprehension.

Ok. It's my comprehensiom that's the problem, when you are telling us all that you want a high salary but law is "too boring" so you've decided to study midwifery and you are now baffled why other people earn more.

Contrary to much popular belief, those salaries don't just drop in people's laps without any effort.

Old boys network?

You are both being utterly ridiculous. If you read my posts, you wouldn't have posted this. Funny. 😂

I literally read them twice after your comment to that other poster about her not having read them and nowhere do you explain the rationale behind starting a midwifery degree while wanting to be rich but please do point out where you’ve explained that

How about midwifery in private medicine, does that pay significantly more than the NHS? Or being a private doula for wealthy families?

Hopefully this will allow the (sad) unpleasant posters to finally rest.

I had to drop out of A Levels because I got very sick, I then had DC.

I love midwifery, I hate the working conditions. It's awful. 29 out of every 30 midwives that qualify either leave or, don't start at all.

I was fine settling for a low salary because it is what I am passionate about, but now I have experienced what it's like first hand, it's no longer worth it.

I am now looking at other career options, and I love the idea of being able to be more than comfortable and send my DC to private school.

I am sorry that I have offended some of you by trying to find tools that could help me build a better life for myself and DC.

Unbelievable. It really must be your comprehension skills then. You have a good day.

oh I wasn’t offended, I was questioning why you kept insisting you’d explained your reasoning when you hadn’t

Thank you.

It does pay more (bit significantly), but jobs are few and far between.

I have looked into being a doula, but I'm not sure how I'd cope not being able to get hands-on, having trained as a midwife. It is something I'm still considering.

Quite literally everything in that explanation post, I have already said upthread. Not a single part of it is new.

I am not a boy, was state school educated and made homeless at 16. So no.

80k - 100k is an awful lot of money when you’re on 25k a year. Yes I suppose it’s relative. Yes I suppose your outgoings will go up… but come on. In what world isn’t that a lot of money to earn per year when the average salary in the U.K. is about 38K.

"Sad unpleasant" posters who all tried to give you helpful career advice? That you asked for.

I am sure they will not bother again. I certainly won't.

As a midwife.

Midwifery won’t get you rich!

Sorry that the median! Apparently the average salary is £25K!

oh she knows. now. she didn’t realise until starting. or something

I have already thanked those posters - I wasn't referring to them.

You have said you "aren't going to bother" countless times now, why are you still posting on this thread? It's bizarre.

Thank you for all you do.

I know, I have said and explained quite a few times on this thread already.

Not going to bother trying to help you anymore. Done with that.

My latter posts were to counteract your false claims and point out the obvious nonsense of your arguments, in the hope that it might save other well-intentioned posters from the waste of time of trying to help you only to be met with vitriol.

What's absurd is what a tit you've made yourself look by posting this. Plenty of people would consider themselves rich if they earned £80k, especially if they lived in a cheaper northern area.

I wasn’t addressing you to be fair
