    Hi All,

    I'm 24, a Chartered surveyor and I make £31k. My company pays an equal amount into my pension (I put in 3%) and you can claim expenses. The industry standard is about £36k after qualifying so it will be interesting to see if my company plans to work towards this. I qualified in April.

    I am 38 and a full time parent and don't have a salary as such, though I do make a bit of pocket money selling on ebay, gumtree, buying broken stuff and fixing it to resell.

    Hey! Let me join conversation :)
    I'm 30 on 19th July. Making £80K-ish a Year working for myself (media industry / youtube to be more specific)

    It's really interesting what kind of jobs people do.

    thats amazing, I've just started a youtube channel doing DIY, life hacks, projects etc, its early days but I'm enjoying making videos and its great to hear its possible to make a decent living at it. So far I've made a grand total of 21 cents through youtube ads however I've recently been given some fairly valuable powertools to review which is a nice bonus.

    Can I ask what your channel is called? Mine is JP's Workshop and my latest video is here

    Also is Dzenis a Latvian name?

    What is your website?
    Money won't buy you happiness....but I have never been in a situation where more money made things worse!

    I work for Jaguar Landrover as a production engineer
    30K PA
    tonnes of benefits,
    upto 20% on jags and landrovers, and ford
    lots of cheap health club/holidays/healthcare deals

    I work freelance as a Production Engineer.
    Hourly rate at the moment is about £44, and Turnover before costs last year was £84K, Sounds good ? Well perhaps not.

    Costs of travel, accommodation and running a business were £18K. I put £20K into pension, drew a salary of £11K took a dividend of £20K, the rest after the Corporation Tax, stayed in business to cover any slack times in future.
    I get no benefits, other than I choose my own hours and ignore the clients hours (I'm not an employee of them), and take more holidays that I would if I were employed. My 45p a mile more than pays for a !!!!!! 11 year old astra which strangely is very reliable.
    No health club, or discounts, and don't get sick pay.

    The year before I took £50K dividend, and put £40K of it into a deposit on a buy to let which should make £3K profit a year after interest is paid.

    Conclusion we earn about the same.

    Data input .. £14,040 currently meeting daily targets for productivity

    Highest salary offered to date been £23,500 and was before London weighting could have been added - but I turned it down as I didn't want another isolating job and I wasn't sure I'd meet the targets required for this.
