to want to earn £150,000

[kentmumtj]

with all this hype at the moment i just got thinking how i would love to earn that kind of money and was wondering if any one had any good ideas how i can

but with all that money comes a lot of responsibilty - are you sure you can handle it?

Become a lawyer and work in something like commercial or tax law.

think i could handle it and as i have 4 dc it would be very appriciated

dont fancy law it would have to be in my current line of work

Debt collector. Fastest growing business at the moment!

actuary, lawyer, accountant, banker, fund manager, consultant, very expensive hooker, footballer/sports star, actor/singer (successful)

Not all of us lawyers earn anything like that sort of dosh unfortunately.

what's you line of work?

all the jobs haha

dont want to work with money thats not my game at all cant understand the rules of football let alone play it cant sing for toffee but them i guess alot of singers cant nowdays

guess that leaves me with the very expensive hooker

social worker in child protection

start your own business and work every hour that god sends for the next 7 years frequently leaving your family to see clients abroad

.You need to be able to do something that everyone can slag you off for and blame you for the current/future economic crisis.

Either that or a high class prostitute. Using Babington House as your base.

haha loving it

Well - one thing's for sure - you don't have to be all that good at maths - judging by the number of people who claim they'll be affected but then also seem to think they'll be paying 51% tax on their entire salary, not just the bit above 150K...

Good luck with making it to the £150K mark, kentmum. Then you can join all the other extremely high earners with their offshore accounts, 6-figure bonuses and pension perks, whingeing about how they have to subsidise the lives of the great unwashed. Heard a chap on the radio yesterday bemoaning the fact that the 50% tax rate was 'punishing the members of Britain's most successful industry' - financial services. How I laughed . And threatening that this will cause a terrible brain drain. Hmm, I wonder which well-regulated and economically stable bit of the world all our poor over-taxed bankers will emigrate to right now? .

I suspect all those high class hookers were responsible for the fall of Northern Rock and need to be made to help clear up the mess they've made .
If you're in child protection and you want to earn then you need to think laterally.
Course providers do very well, as do all the child shrinks ( not all need years of training). Open a play therapy centre. Become an independent SW giving expert evidence in cases.Become a GAL. They may not all hit 150 but you'll certainly do better than you are now.

ive heard all that too, do you think they really think its on all their salary?????????? surely not

most accoutants are not on that kind of figure either - only partner/director in one of the top firms.

actually i was think8ing in terms of doing some additional traning in play therapy and have often thought of open some place privatly but its all quite scary

high class hookers does sound far easier

Public service jobs aren't well paid and don't often translate into private well-paid jobs either - on the other hand, like me, you do have job security and probably a good pension.

Another option is to run your own business -
or to go further up in your own area of expertise e.g become director of children's services or move sidewise and work for a charity or a different branch of children's services where there might be room for advancement.

dunno, high class hooker would be rather exhausting, no?

I have a friend who's a lawyer and is only 8 years post Q and is now a partner earning £250k a year... He's in commercial law.

i am very glad i have job security when there are so many being made redundant so am lucky there
i do currently work in a private company maybe after some more training i will branch out a little.

i just thought the post would be interestaing being that sooooo many people are moaning about having to pay the tax on earnings over £150k

go into consultancy and training.train the trainers.external training for SW for LA and ss dept

open a sw agency for locums

get a cushtie big chief exec post

play therapy not well paid at all.not theat well known about or publicised either.need to be BAPT approved to be one
