I am 28 and earn £26000 a year in London, pay review due in January (fingers majorly crossed).

My job is to basically make either a sketch or idea given to me by the creative director happen.

Interestingly there doesn't seem to be that many people working in the creative industries on here....

peri music teacher. £21050, plus around another £1500 in extra gigs as a singer. 25 years old. As a musician, its not too bad, but hoping to train to qualified teacher, one of the reasons being better earning potential. In past 2 years had 1% rise...

Looking at that my gross income has tripled since 2007 and the money I'm earning now would have been beyond my wildest dreams even 2 years ago. That said, I don't feel that much more wealthy than I did then, it's amazing how quickly your lifestyle adjusts to account for any additional income.

Interested to know what kind of engineering you do? I see Subsea7 are doing engineering conversion programmes - tempting, but I see the cost of living in Aberdeen is excessive and I don't know if I want to be holed up in that one location forever..

I've previously done a range of jobs, Wish I could find something I really loved! Also I've moved from the city to the sticks so have to make do with what's available to me. At least I have a job, thankful for that!

Uni admin £29000 a year for a 4 day week (my choice) plus 7 weeks hol's, final salary pension scheme and free gym membership. Sounds good but I don't enjoy it, being a uni they require everyone to have a degree and talk up all jobs to make them "graduate" jobs even when they don't need to be.

That sounds amazing to me! But I know very well how it doesn't matter if you don't enjoy it.

Now I'm 34 and am self employed. Get around £250-£280 plus vat per day now (usually 10hrs). But only cover people's holidays/illness so all my bookings are never more than 2 weeks in advance. Usually work 6-12 days per month but would love it to be more. I work shifts, weekends, bank holidays and overnights. Live News never sleeps

Oh and I earn about £30pm from my doggy website too :j
