What is your job title and how much do you earn?

[worldshottestmom]

As per title. What do you do and how much do you get paid?

I'll go first; SAHM. £0 pa.

I have a degree in Psychology, but I have never done anything with it as I fell pregnant not long after graduating. But soon, ill have enough time to go back to work full time and I honestly cant wait! I just feel at this point in my life im not sure if I want to pursue a career directly related to my degree.

So, i'm asking you fellow mumsnetters what you do, so I can get a feel of whats out there with accurate salary / hourly rate reflections.

If anyone also has any advice on what other things I could do with my degree, id be very appreciative! I have heard a lot about recruitment / HR roles being fond of Psychology graduates, but job advertisements for those roles always require experience. I also graduated in 2018 which does NOT work well in my favour, but a degree is a degree and im sure it'll help with some roles (or at least I hope so lol).

Thanks!

Local Government. £36k full time but I work 4 days a week. My job title has no relation to my job since they gave us all generic titles a few years ago.

I work p/t in IT. I have no degree and left school at 16 with only one o grade. I now clear £1 million a year.

Because MN.

Finance manager £35k. I could probably earn more if I wanted to do some more qualifications or specialise but I’m pretty happy with my current set up that allows me to work 5 days in 4 and wfh most of the week

Post graduate certificate in education. I did mine as part of my teacher training course. After a few years of taking on additional responsibilities, the head asked me to complete the SENDCO qualification and I am now the SENDCO.

Lead Analyst. 65k in London, public sector

Account manager (marketing) £32k. I've got an irrelevant degree but 15 years experience.

Customer service in an incident management centre. 28.5k FT

My title is “Business Process Specialist” I’m 2 years post graduating on my second career. I earn 50k.

Head of Engagement in a public body. £90k.

If it encourages you I restarted my career after children in 2013. I was a senior in the NHS before but wanted a career change. Started in a part time admin role and got promotions, ended up running a directorate then moved to adjacent fields. When I returned after kids I was on minimum wage. It's not too late to kick start your career.

Not giving my exact title but in house senior finance, not London, £150-200k depending on bonus.

Addiction recovery counsellor. £32k for 37.5 hours. 3.5 years in. Did a complete career change when DD2 was born. Hit the top of my band now unless I move roles/move up but my job is flexible and works for our family whilst our girls are so young (4 and 6) so staying put for now. Plus I absolutely love it!

Farm manager 60k + house + vehicle. I currently manage for an estate and get a very nice house in the grounds I would never be able to afford otherwise, love it. I've got no degree but 20yrs hard experience!

Compliance Director 210k inclusive of bonus. Work in the gambling industry.

No degree but a lot of experience working up from relatively junior roles.

Definitely a case of right place, right time from an industry perspective.

Senior teacher. 50k.

Senior physiotherapist. ~£56k pa including overtime. As a single mum it does not go far!!

Recruitment Manager (Education), circa 85k, bonus included.

I trained as a teacher, worked in education for a number of years, and then left the classroom and moved into education recruitment as a trainee consultant on £17k.

10 years later, here we are!

My job title, bestowed by me, is "queen of all I survey". As long as the surveying is done from my riser/recliner chair.

I'm retired and my income is "enough".

Space cowboy £500k

NHS Advanced Nurse Practitioner £62000 - I have a degree (nursing) & masters (advanced practice)

Senior social worker practitioner £55,000 my Dh is on similar. I have a masters and could also boost my salary with ad hoc work

I agree it doesn't go far

Creative manager - £52K. No degree

Freelance document controller/site admin earning between £550 - £650 a week after tax for 37.5 hrs a week depending on the contractor I'm working for. Love the work, love working on sites, love the hours 7 30am- 3.30pm and love the fact that I get a mid morning break for 30 mins as well as 30 mins lunch. And love the fact I work with men who call a spade a spade, and don't have to keep extracting claws out of my back every five mins. Better still, I can wear jeans and trainers to work and don'thave to ponce around in a suit or remember my P's and Q's, but I can just be myself and be accepted ,🤣🤣.

HR advisor, 34k, became an advisor around 15months ago, will look to change jobs in Two years as about to go on Maternity leave 🤣
