Staff nurse, 30 hrs a week, 12 hr shifts, been a nurse for 40+ years, have been ward sister/manager but choose to be a staff nurse to be in contact with patients. Ha, that's a laugh, my shift consists of drug rounds, trouble shooting and some patient contact, endless paperwork and documentation. If I choose to work with patients with toileting, mobility, dressings, chatting etc, my documentation suffers so I spend at least an hour at the end of the shift catching up, UNPAID.
7weeks holiday a year, I need a week off every 7-8 weeks, final salary pension, which isn't much to write home about.
Retiring next year, at 60, on a meager pension and won't get sate pension till I'm nearly 66. I've had enough.

THIS is the reason I never went into nursing when my family/college tried to bully me into it.
I admire anyone who does it.

I'm 28, work 32.5hours a week (would work more but I'm a single parent and have to find the right work/life balance to suit DD and I) work as an admin assistant and get £6.85 an hour. At Christmas we get a bonus ranging from £500-£1800 factored on how well the company has done in the year. This Christmas will be the first bonus I have had, fingers crossed its a good one!)

Interesting thread. Always wanted to breach £40k, have done - now about to breach £50k and honestly... it's not setting my life on fire. Largely due to ruddy expensive housing. Seriously considering field engineer work with an oil services company - mate of mine is clearing £97k per year right now, and he's out of the UK at least 10 months of the year so the tax is minimal. BUT, not good if you've got a family and the conditions are tough, with manual labour involved.

Saw a good story on incomes in the UK in a paper - astonishing how much some people were earning in non-jobs... total contrast to salaries listed here. Do higher earners not bother with sites like this?

I found a better target to be multiples of national medium income, that way you have an historical comparison against which progress can be tracked

There are some large numbers posted in this thread, what did you have in mind?

I want to be getting day rates of £500-700. It's do-able as an engineer in oil right now. edit; but tough to break into.

Agree with the above.

Love this thread, I work on the roads, on the shovel digging most of the day to put new water supplies in for houses etc. Hard physically some days, work 50 hours mon-fri, 1 and a half hours travelling each way to and from work. Work in all weathers and bring home around £400 per week.
