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!

How did you get into the role? Did you have to complete qualifications?

Excellent advice! Did consider becoming a forensic psychologist during my time in uni, but honestly the idea escaped me until now. Will look into probationary roles, thank you :)

Senior nurse/bed manager. £54,710.
Degree and Masters funded by trust.

How on earth did you swindle that?? Do you work heavy hours?

Tax consultant, niche industry. £67k, I work approx 30 hrs a week.

Deputy Operations Director, £70k and usually a £10kish bonus. London.

Yeah i feel like this is the kinda of thing I'm aiming for right now; flexibility is imperative for the foreseeable due to school drop offs / pick ups, holidays, etc. Thanks for sharing :)

No wonder Jamiroquai isn’t making music anymore if he’s now on that much.

That sounds amazing. How did you get into it?

This thread made me feel so poor!

That sounds great! How many hours do you work part time? And how did you qualify?

3rd sector finance manager £47k on 0.8fte, probs not for a psychology background but whatever you go for, make sure it's survivable on should you end up a single mum as you just never know. I can tell you now my salary in the south east doesn't make that easy!

That sounds so good. How did you qualify?

Lecturer, clinical lead of a service and advanced nurse £80k all in

Director in a small biotech company. £92k per year plus bonus. Science degree, PhD, and an MBA - now 12 years in age 38 (started 1st job after PhD, MBA done later while working). Love these threads - feeds my inner nosiness!

Oh no sorry you feel that way, I am sure you are rich in a lot of ways xx

That sounds like something I'd actually like to get into. My son receives SALT and its nice to see how much of a difference its making. I will do, thank you :)

I’m an Office Manager in a Building Maintenance/Construction company. I earn 62k per year and we have excellent ‘benefits’ in the form of not having to book AL for things like appointments, school events, deliveries etc. We have no set lunch breaks and can nip out of we need to. I have no A-Levels and certainly never bothered with University.

Accidentally! Started off as a junior/admin assistant and worked my way up. Company paid for me study, not necessary for what I do. I've worked with the same company the whole time, longevity can count for a lot.

Hahaha, this made me laugh so much. Kids are the best. Im actually a qualified weirdo myself, while I don't get paid actual money, I do get paid in laughter and insults lol

I do not know if are qualified to be a weirdo, but I am offended by your pluralisation of "Legos"... which probably means that I could get a job as a weirdo.

How did you get into tutoring? What qualifications / experience, etc?

That's good for a school cook! Did you need any qualifications? Also, do you get paid during half term / summer holidays?

My mum is a LO at a school and gets paid throughout the holidays. When I've seen these types of jobs advertised online, they seem to always disclose that these roles are only paid during term time.
