johanne

im 25 and an avon lady - work at least 16 hours a week - SE profit last year £1914 so works out at best £2.30 an hour

Also a full time (single) mum and studying through the OU.. no other job will fit round LO so suppose i cant complain and its better to earn £2.30 an hour than be on income support earning £0!

perks
flexible hours to a degree

cons
under minimum wage
commission only so if people dont buy i dont earn

on 24/7 call with customers it seems sometimes

I think its appalling how badly people are paid and I never knew it was so bad until I read this thread.

I'm 38 years old, a chartered accountant and I'm a strategy and business support manager for a financial services company, currently on secondment to Paris and they pay me quite well for the unfettered use of my brain:

Basic salary £90,000 pa
Guaranteed bonus £20,000 pa
Performance bonus £5,000 pa
Shares, varies but this year £15,000 worth
Share options, varies but this year £10,000 worth
Other:
Rent allowance £2,500 per month
Travel allowance for commuting £80 per month
Annual leave 45 days per year
Defined contribution pension scheme, 11% employer contribution

That's more than £100k/year...

You make me sick. Maybe I should drop my Engineering PhD (lousy 19k/year) and try to get a job in banking.

EDIT: This thread is depressing me. How can train drivers make £50k/year?
