To wonder if my wage is good?

[JPArkes90]

So, I was just wondering what people generally earn part time?

I work 24 hours per week and earn 20k per year (1600pm) would you be happy with this?

Are you already a nurse? During your training won't you just get a grant , who knows how much you might earn in 3 or 4 years time if you qualify as a midwife, there is info online about current salaries and banding.

Does that work out at £17ph? I think most people would consider that a good wage. You said your dh brings home a decent wage already, so even if you load a chuck into your pension and have a bit of extra its absolutely worthwhile.

I really dislike the assumption that any woman on a high salary must be lying. I earn quite a lot more than you, OP, and am not lying about that.

Same. I live in one of the most expensive parts of the country, have a big mortgage & childcare bills, degree & professional quals plus a lot of years experience and i bring a lot of value, I'm not ashamed of earning more.

Well I work for the NHS full time and don't get much more than you. With a degree, in a specialised field. So to me, for 24hours a week, it is very good. But you'll get a range of different answers on here because everyone is a millionaire it would seem.

Ridiculously pointless thread if you're asking "AIBU to wonder if my wage is good?"

And then refusing to say how you earn it.

If you're a pilot or a brain surgeon, then it's shit.

But you clearly think some people are lying.

If your DH can earn 75k why can't some posters on here? Because they're women?

I dont understand why you are so let up on me assuming some people will lie? why does that affect you? Absolutely dont assume you earn less because you're a woman that is ridiculous!

This exactly. You're bringing in £17 per hour. I average £35-50 depending on the type of work I'm doing.

Both of these figures are meaningless without more information.

Your wage might be amazing or it might be shit.

If you don't want to disclose what your role is no one can really answer your question.

I've got this bit of string... anyone think it's long enough?

It doesn't matter at all what you earn, it matters what your disposable income is.

I'd rather be on 20k with mortgage paid off than on 200k and not be able to afford my credit credit bills.

😂

Daft Q as no context. Are you highly skilled or could a child do it?

Your 24hrs x52 weeks = 1,248hrs/year = £16.03/hr.

Not great imo. I'm guessing it's not a skilled role that required years of exp or qualifications.

Isn't minimum wage only a fiver less? Sorry if I sound harsh but, having studied for years and now earning well in a niche role, I'd never accept that sort of pay personally. If you are not lucky enough to be qualified in anything it's probably a good starting point - part time means you've time to train.
Good luck.

It's about £28k full time equivalent, so it's not a bad salary but depends what you do. I do 25 hours and am on slightly more, about £30k equivalent.

You do not need to be lucky enough to be qualified in anything though surely? that comes from hard work and persistence. I have never really been ambitious to be honest but I am so in awe of the high managers at my place, I am very intimidated by these women and think they are amazing

I would be happy with that take home pay for a part time roll, I'm in my mid 50's and my boss does not believe in paying top dollar for work that he can do (he can't) but thinks he can.

I've been with him for 10 years and its not got to the point where i just gloss over my wages as the job is very close to my home, I have no-one breathing down my neck and as long as the jobs get completed he leaves me alone.

I often think how lovely it would be to be paid a decent wage for doing the role that I do, but in reality I can't be arsed with moving roles and having to work with people in a shared office.

My DH worked so hard to get where he is now, He would often work until midnight when our DD was born and it was very challenging. I have never understood that mindset

I’m a nurse and work 24 hours a week because of childcare commitments and I’m a single parent and earn around 1400-500 per month basic. If I do a lot of weekends or nights I tend to earn a bit more

I might sound rude, but this is purely based on my own life goals and mentality. I do think that your salary should relfect your age and be higher till around 45 years than your age.

Example below:
20 years old - annual salary 20-25k or more
25 years old - annual salary 25-30k or more
30 years old - annual salary 30-35k or more
35-40 years old - annual salary 35-50k or more *this normally peak years for carrier.
45-50 years old - maintain annual salary or more

If person 30 years old and his/her income below 30k -> I would recommend reconsidering skills, carrier path and general lifestyle.

My take home, after deductions, is about 2k and I work 21 hours a week. Before deductions it’s closer to 3k. I have significant pension contributions though.
TAs are very poorly paid, but there’s no hangover from work- you do it all during hours at school, so in that sense, it’s great!

My take home is 1800 for full time. It’s rubbish money but it’s from home, I choose my own hours and the workload is incredibly light. I don’t need any childcare and no travel costs. I used to be a teacher part time and took home similar but was working on my days off and nights. My kids were in breakfast and afterschool club so that was another cost. I am sure I am
qualified enough to have a job that brings in a lot more but at this time it wouldn’t be the right thing and I’m grateful for my job

What happens to the wage after 50?! Does the trend go gradually back downwards? Due to retirement or going part time or just not caring?

That mindset gives your family a very good income and allows you to work part time and earn what you earn. He's providing for his family.

Good thing that one of you had this mindset

Yes, but if we split then what would I do?
