25 (26 next month!) and i'm a warehouse manager at £7.90ph. I get any extra mileage paid at 40p per mile and I get a £100 attendance bonus PM (£10 is knocked off everytime i'm late for work) and another £100 for making no mistakes when sending goods out (again, between £10 - £20 deducted for mistakes)

I've been looking for a change of career for a while now - this was never going to be my forever job, but due to circumstances outside of my control I have been in this job since graduating 4 years ago - but I am looking at becoming a train driver and it's mostly just a case of waiting for vacancies in and around my area coming up. I am hopeful though as I have only applied for one position and I got to the interview stage (which I fluffed, but I knew I had and put it down to experience) so I know i've got at least something of what they are looking for!

Interesting thread. There's a lot of people here earning a lot more than I'd have expected (and a lot more than me!).

I work in customer service for a global communications company and my wage is in the region of £20k a year. I suppose it's not a bad wage, but it can be very stressful as I get things heaped on me from all angles

I'm 25 living in the north of England and working as an IT project leader for £34k per year. I also get paid overtime (including time travelling to other sites), pension, private healthcare and a reduced cost car from my employer.

It is good pay but like some in the oil industry I spend a lot of time working away from home and sometimes in semi-dangerous countries. But I like my job and I figure I may as well get the experience and travel whilst I'm young with no kids.

Why does paying rent make you feel sick? Your paying to live in the house, why do you care about the landlords mortgage?

You are renting someonelse's bricks and mortar; your landlord is renting someonelse's money.
It is official government policy to try to devalue the money by 2 - 3% a year. So using "the rule of 72" we divide 2 into 72 and get 36. Alternatively 72 divided by 3 gives us 24. So it is official policy to devalue the capitalists liquid capital by half every generation (30 years).

Normally this policy can be offset by keeping the rental value of the money, called post tax interest.
Since the world's largest economies came off the gold standard, the politicians have been free to create new money at will. At present there is an unholy alliance between USA UK & Japan to create lots of new "funny money" [and who knows what is happening in China]
The "funny money" is flooding the system and has pushed down the rental value of money to almost nothing.
So it is not surprising that this cheap money has been used to buy stuff that is already in high demand, such as housing which cannot be increased at will.

Housing is limited in supply and facing a rising demand from a rising population and family break-down.
