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!

Same and i can't believe the wages of the teachers and the nurses on this thread then they're striking because they are underpaid and have to use food banks why they are earing 50/60k a year 🙈

This gives me hope!

I’m honestly not after the high flying London salaries but a nice 30-40k would be ideal!

I’m hanging on in there

How did you land this role with no degree? Did you have vast relevant experience? Promotions? Thanks :)

I'm a buyer, 55k, hybrid WFH/office and pretty flexible. Started on a grad scheme 4 years ago age 35 at 30k. Top of pay band is around 70k. This is a 2nd career for me.

Teacher. 38.5k. Quite galling after 28 years.

I wouldn't get out of bed for less than a cool half million a year.

Civil servant outside London 64k

Not all nurses are on this much. I've been qualified for 16 years and I am at the top of a Band 7. I've completed a degree and a Masters. Strikes were also not just about pay. Newly qualified nurses do not earn the same as a band 7+.

This actually sounds incredible. I am so jealous. How did you get into this position? Half of these jobs I have honestly never heard of and I'm wondering how others have, hahaha

Warehouse assistant to a large footwear company. Just above minimum wage. But been of sick on and off since August 2023. Being fully paid so thankful 🙏

circa £45k, procurement, not in London
less than 4 years experience and no degree! although think i got lucky with my niche!

Clinical psychologist, 25 years qualified, self employed in private practice working around 3-4 days a week. Approx £70-75k before tax, depending on how much leave I take each year.

I would hope they don't you have to start at the bottom and work your way up nothing is just handed to you

Yeah i definitely don't think finance is the way i want to go, my ADHD brain couldn't handle it lmao. Which is a shame, because im actually really quite good at maths and enjoy working with numbers!

Sinus advice tbf thank you, I do want to earn enough to know I'm financially secure by myself cos well, as you say, you never know. Thank you for the advice!

Full time? Seems low. That’s M4 or thereabouts isn't it!

Student Manager in a secondary school. Earn 30k. FTE approx 37k

Did my CIPD Level 3 around 6 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I did this at night college 6-8.30 1 day a week.
I then did nothing for two years and landed a part time HR admin job. I was working 3 days a week, 8.30-2 on minimum wage.

I then decided to go back to college in September 2023 to do my CIPD Level 5, this was on an evening again and much harder with a toddler.

I got 2 years admin experience under my belt and moved full time to my current job as an assistant in January 2024 working 8-4 Mon - Fri, working from home 2 days a week and I’m able to do the school run.

I then got promoted to HR advisor and in two years I’ve had a 6k payrise.

I changed careers at 27 ❤️

Same hahahaha

Degree in speech and language therapy 20 odd years ago, then worked in the NHS for a while and found a specialism I enjoyed.
Launched my private practice a few years ago and absolutely love working for myself. It’s a great job for flexibility and work-life balance (out of the NHS sadly).

I didn't say it was. You said you were shocked at the wage of a nurse and I explained that the majority of nurses do not earn the wage that I earn.

Fleet Auditor £56k plus annual bonus

Gosh, well done you! Hard work truly does pay off. This is exactly the sort of career path I want to follow. Albeit, made harder with two kids under 5 but you've really given me hope that I could actually do this! Im 28 now, so similar age staring too! Thank you so much ☺️❤️

Customer Assitant, £10k (part time). Probably not what you're looking for 😂

Civil servant, £34k currently AO grade.

Yes OP civil service is all government but it could be any department/division of. My role is admin but the division is quite niche and only inter-departmental so not public facing. I quite like it, we get a lot of stick but there's some really good people in the CS (and some bad)

Naaah do what the rest do and just make it up.
