The salary for a lecturer is low, considering the amount of intelligence required. I work in a bank and certain contractors are on upwards of £1000 a day for being completely inept and doing nothing useful.

I would advise grads and technically skilled people to get into this industry - it is where the money is.

Doing what, IT?

My job is to design electronics, 30 y/o, mid-£40k's close to £50k if including bonus. I think it's not well enough paid and am considering either a move abroad or switch to oil & gas (electronics there is lower paid but the industry is "richer" and opportunities might spawn from it). I'd be happier on ~£65k and just let that rise with inflation.

Web developer on £28,000 per year now.

I do freelance web development aswell, earned around £3,000 doing that since June and it's growing each month.

Hoping to finally hit £1,000 per money by January, slowing it down a little over Christmas but this month I will have brought in £900 on top of my full time salary.

Some of the IT salaries listed in here are crazy, you must either live down south, or be seriously high up the chain. Highest figure for IT staff in Staffordshire is £45,000.

Black Dynamite, what age?

I'm not in IT but the money can be crazy. Same with oil & gas. God I wish I either liked IT (hate it) or could do oil work.

Hi Spock,

I'm 25, been working in IT (Helpdesk, Field Technician, IT Support) since I was 18. Started doing Web Development over the past few years, now my main job and thought i'd try Freelancing part time.

Its difficult to start with, but once you've got a few ratings you can charge a little more and still get considered. I'm now at the point where i've got a few agencies I work with and rarely need to apply for more work.

Hoping that this time next year i'm matching my full time salary, currently charge between £15 and £25 per hour so it really is worth doing.

Thanks
