I have so far resisted the temptation to post my specifics but here goes.

26 years old, work in Finance.

Pros :
- £38k basic (due to go up to £42k in the next few months)
- (Up to) £8k annual bonus in reality it has never been more than £5k but perhaps this is the year?
- £5k car allowance
- Private healthcare & dental
- Funded study and time off for exams
- I contribute 7% to my pension, employer contributes 9%
- 32.5 days holiday excluding bank hols and a few other corporate goodies.
- Very good job security

I also get to work from home 4-5 days a week.

Cons :
- High-stress levels and a couple of times a month I will work until gone midnight.
- I have lost all perception of what a "working day" really is.
- It took 3 years of long days and slogging my guts out to get recognised.

I know how lucky I am, especially living in the North and I am also married to an amazing woman :A.

I'd give it all up to spend more time enjoying life with the ones I love.

I just relocated 200 miles to be near my family so I have. The real kicker is my wife who works a lot harder and much longer hours than I do. She is the one that I miss most!

Depressed - we have to be regulated and answerable for our mistakes (Fair enough! Couldn't agree more!!)

Takes from 2-3 years to train and qualify as a VN - during which time you may be unlucky enough to be on either apprentice wage, or student loans. I got £50 a week when I started out!

But for 13.5k a year, plus paying for our own professional body fees - RCVS, BVNA, BSAVA - makes me want to cry!

Hi tankgirl1, tell your tax office about your professional fees and they will adjust your tax code - you might even get a rebate if you write a letter with supporting evidence that you have paid them for a number of years. My friend's a nurse and got her professional fees (£76 to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and as nurses have to have some indemnity, got her professional body's subscriptions - CPHVA) backdated for 7 years. you can always ring the tax office and ask them if you're entitled to anything else - ie uniform laundering/uniform/allowances. They've been really helpful when I've contacted them querying my tax code and sorting out my friends situation as described above.

I'm a science technician in a secondary school - do 23 hours a week at £6.30 per hour. That's my only income. University was really worth it as you can guess.
