  • 29 yr old Archaeologist, at project supervisor scale earn £17,800 (approx) per year. No benefits with my job apart from standard 20 days hol and sick pay.

    The basic grade for other arch's is about £13k a year.... pretty rubbish for a skilled and proffessional job!!
  • Supervisor in a new tea shop, love it!! the only trouble its only 8 hours a week for now, at £6 per hour. Roll on next September when one of the other girls goes off to uni!!

    Unfortunately I am still on benefits because I'm not reaching the magic 16 hours a week so they stop from my benefits most of what I earn, so in reality I'm working for £2.50 per hour, but its worth it for my sanity lol
  • 27, bus driver, £6.75/hr. 48hrs per week.

    No contract, 10 days holiday, no sick pay (not even statutory), uncontracted unpaid overtime.

    My dream is to be a professional pilot, either advanced instruction or airline. Just need to find c.£50,000 for the training. Sadly, there are now no jobs in the industry anyway thanks to the recession. If I had my time again I would probably choose another career path, however, I struggle to find an interest in anything else and I have no experience of anything other than driving.

    I think I need to speak to a career counsellor! :cry:

    Public sector (rather not say what), over £30k per year plus final salary pension scheme which only costs me £40/month - which saves me £££s per month. :D Good holiday allowance plus flexi etc.

    Would like to earn more but wouldn't we all! Not to live a lavish lifestyle, just for security. Have saved almost £30k for a house deposit, OH has separate savings and we are waiting to see something that is good value in a nice area.

    Rewarding job but not a good idea if you like money!! :(


    rewarding....that is the most important factor. money doesn't matter as long as you are doing something rewarding and you are happy :)


    a £130 a month rewarding job is worth a lot more than a £3million a month life-sapping job

    Self employed freelance IT Technician (started 8 weeks ago), I get my hands dirty 20 hours a week spend 1 hour a week cleaning my car and 9 hours a week looking at pron .... erm ..... sorry .... researching new products and potential customers.

    I make about £400 per month, and have very few overheads ..... less than £70 per month, no one looks over my shoulder and I am accountable to no one. I take fridays off, dont work weekends, and do my accounts friday morning whilst sitting in my underpants drinking coffee and eating bacon sandwiches wondering if I could get an extra day off next week.

    Previously I have worked for other people who wanted 12 hour days, took all the credit for jobs 'well done' and then whined when they had to pay me sick pay for a week. Never again !!

    Sounds like the ideal job to me
