  • I think a lot of people in these lower paying private sector jobs would be better off in the public sector - especially considering the more favourable pensions there. Hell, I even considered the RAF/Navy engineering scheme upon graduation - joining bonus of £27k if it's the Navy, and you get SOME sort of a decent pension in retirement if you serve out a minimum time. Never went for it but my point is.. seems to be an inequality here when looking at these salaries and then considering pensions?

    I don't know where you get you're figures from, but it's crap.

    One there is no final salary pension anymore. As you've mentioned further down.

    The pension isn't actually worth staying in for really.

    For HIGHLY skilled workers, it's not worth staying in at all. The reasons being you're salary has a cap. It's good money, but not loads. Considering you can walk into the private sector and earn 4x more as a contractor.

    This is what a lot of people are doing. The public sector is privatising skilled jobs out anyway. So people come through the golden revolving door much better off. All you'll have left soon is squaddies. Which don't get paid a lot, have naff pensions and would earn more in TESCO.

    The public sector isn't the nectar filled heaven you think.
  • Can you put numbers to it?
    Calm down, I wasn't being confrontational! I hold my hands up what I said was wrong :)

    Ohh ignore me....women's problems :rotfl:

    Well it was once that the military had the best final salary pension out there, not so now. It's worthless in reality.

    The average squaddies are on about 20k then they leave. That's ok for people who don't have any academic qualifications, or set skills.

    Navy don't know too much about, but I know it's pretty much the same as the RAF.

    With the RAF the big money is in flying pay and deployment bonus.

    The technical trades, where it requires skill and an education, anywhere between 30k-48k roughly. But in those trade you can come back as a civvy and earn around £300-£500 per day.

    Ofc no subsidised housing, etc, but the wage potential is much higher.

    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Self Employed Cleaner.
    I charge anywhere from £8 p/h (for disabled customers, and also agency work with regular hours) to £10 an hour (for private clients).
  • Sales administrator at not much over £13k per annum - not for long though, I hope!
  • Jesus, I thought rates of £300-500 a day were for offshore/IT contracting etc! Wish I could get that sort of money if I went contract! Thanks for the correction!

    Well....there are IT workers in the forces :cool: That's what my figures were mainly based on. We are looking at coming out, getting a house and doing this.

    However the same does apply to the engineering profs, IF you've got the right qualifications.
  • I've got the right quals but perhaps not in the right line of engineering. More like £35-40 an hour, so £320 tops for an 8-hour day (assuming you only work that long).
