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!

Medical Secretary NHS, just over £30k. Not a lot but I enjoy my job

You could work in the NHS? https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/psychological-therapies/roles-psychological-therapies/clinical-psychologist

I’m a specialised HCP in the NHS. 15 years since finishing my BSc but have a MSc, PhD and other professional qualifications £75k outside London.

Escort. 126K last year

Can I ask how you got into this? I'm in fleet currently and am looking for possible roles to step up into

Programme Manager £74k plus bonuses

I feel honoured to even have a comment from you, hahaha. You sound so qualified you may as well be God himself. I really wish I had gotten into a tech related field, but back then girls like me just weren't encouraged to do anything of that kind. But 92k at 38 is such an achievement, congratulations!

Haha, I'm the same. Its so interesting to see the salary behind so many different roles!

Retired allied health professional, £600 per month! Luckily DH is keeping me.
So much for gold plated NHS pensions. 🤣.

Probation officer- £43,650. On the job training for 15 months if you have a degree and will take approx. 4 years post qualification to get to that salary

This sounds perfect tbh. I hate the traditional structure of work - fixed breaks, requesting leave in advance, etc. How did you land your role?

I don’t work long hours now, pretty much 9-5 M-F, but I used to while I was working my way up.

I am now able to WFH and would happily stay in this role until I decide to retire.

I’d like to say it was a carefully planned career but that would be a massive lie!

Chartered Accountant, 54, £55k, have earned more. Never likely to reach the MN standards of 100k

Hahaha, I love that. Exactly what I'm going for. Degree in Psychology but the last thing I want to do is hear about other people's problems. Heading to my local library to demand a job tomorrow

Support staff in school 18k
35hrs a week term time
Also have a psychology degree

And what's wrong with this? That's what working as an IT contractor pays. The OP asked and someone has answered.

Senior service advisor for a luxury car brand £40k (plus bonus) with company car and private health insurance but I work 50 hours a week and barely see my child so would not recommend!

God damn that's high. I imagine you get paid so much because it's chemistry? Or is it pretty even across the board? Or do you have like a library of PHDs?

Wow, this is actually solid advice, thank you so much! Sounds more fun/rewarding than the office type roles I've been thinking about. Will have a look into it, thanks :)

Presumably it's a London based post, working for a consultancy that can charge the client telephone numbers

Clinical Case Manager (requires a Counselling Degree or equivalent, pro rata to my hours) about £23K for a four day week.

Landlord (partnership) last year £19K (profit net).

Tutor of Counselling Students £4,400 per year (one weekend a month tutoring, then all of the bloody endless marking, tutorials, writing up of forms etc etc meaning I seldom get a day's rest).

About £50K a year ish? Give or take. I have a Masters.

Odd how the least work for the most gain job is land lording. For which I required zero skills or qualifications other than a bit of £ and being in the right place at the right time.

What do you do as a housing officer? I can't help but feel it would involve a lot of confrontation, which just isn't for me lol

Executive Assistant (HR/London) 55k

Nothing fancy, just applied to job ads, houses and vehicles are pretty standard these days as no one can afford to live near farms on farm wages 🤣 i dont come from afarming background so just literally worked my way up from the bottom learning from every experience.

I did this pre-career change, it's a tough life. I do miss it a tiny bit sometimes but then I finish early on a Friday and I'm like 'nah'

Self employed teacher, tutor and examiner. BA, MA, PGCE. 25 years experience. Between 40 & 60K, depending on the year and how much I want to work.

My previous job! Beat me as I was on just under 6k pa hahaha
