Hi Annie021063
Wow you have given me a boost!
I have wanted to teach since I was 4!! In particular I would love to be Special Needs Primary school teacher I just don't know how to go about it? Was going to do access course a couple of years ago but didn't have the money unless I did it full time whereby it's free - now the access course has been stopped in our local college,(where I work coincidently,lol)!
I really can't afford to quit work - will be starting sign language in September thanx to staff development And I have a job there til the end of next June so really wouldn't want to leave them in the lurch - if you have any advice or suggestions I would be truly grateful
I have my English and Maths gcse's but would need to get science,(I was born 1974 so technically don't need it but I know it would be favoured).
I also don't drive so may be those are 2 things I could and should look at in the next year but I would be really grateful if you have any more ideas please
Thank you so kindly
Jenny

Well Im 26 and currently not working (not out of choice) so at the moment my income is £0 but waiting to start my new job as an assistant (basically admin work but its a whole new role so Ive got a lot of work to do sorting out the systems etc) where i'll be on £14k. Its a pay cut from my old job but right now I just need to be working and it will JUST cover all my bills (there'll be no going out for me for a while)
I do have a HND in computers and good GCSEs etc plus the first yr of a degree but it seems theres just nothing out there at the moment which pays a good wage.
I would love to finish my degree but at the moment I just cant afford to so that will have to wait unfortunately!

Although the contributions are comparatively small, the civil service pension scheme is contributory

I take your point although strictly speaking the contriburtions are for widows' and dependants' benefits, not retirement, but yes there is no way of avoiding them:o

If I remember correctly it depends which scheme you're in. If you're paying 1.5% then yes, and you get the basic retirement pension (based on 80ths). If you pay 3.5% you get an enhanced pension too (based on 60ths).

I am 34 in the Royal Navy and work as a Submariner earn between £40 & £50k a year depending on the amount of tima underwater i do. Have great benefits

Free & priority health and dental care
A good percentage of my travel costs paid
38 days plus annual leave
Decent pension paid out after 22 years service(5 to go)
Have been to many great places and met many wonderful people
I work with some cracking people and the banter is 2nd to none.

In short i love my job i would do it for free if i could afford to.

Still no matter how much i earn it doesn t seem to take away the fact that i am totally skint and struggling from month to month :-(

You are right of course - mine is based on 80ths:D

Just under £28K. Area manager for a charity.

I'm 28 and earn circa £32k as an IT Desktop Support Engineer (contractor, not permanent) in Glasgow.

Perks... not a lot but well paid for the position im doing which in itself is a problem as they are looking to downsize our team and out of 4 im the only contractor. Similar positions at the moment locally i'd be lucky to see £23k

I don't think i've even seen jobs with those kind of wages advertised on the job centre website or anything, is there some secret site I don't know of?!

I went to the Job Centre once and they only had really crappily paid jobs, mostly minimum wage. I never went back.

I look on https://www.totaljobs.com and https://www.fish4jobs.com and the NHS jobs website. The local paper on jobs day is also good.

Pay usually reflects qualifications and experience.
