Agreed, I'd be chuffed earning 15K! I'm 21 and an administrator, earning 13K. I rely heavily on the OH's salary especially as I commute to work every day, but I enjoy the work I do and get good benefits:

- Good pension scheme
- 23 days holiday
- Paid sick days
- Weekends off!!

13k is still a real good salary too

(aren't all sick days paid at every company?)

No! My daughter's a care worker and doesn't get sick pay. When she worked previously as a PA she didn't get sick pay either.

why the sad face? that's a very good job and salary

I would not call £15k a good salary, sorry....
But it probably depends on where you live and what your outgoings are.
If you live in London, have a family etc. it's NOT.
If you are single (or can rely on your partner's earning) and live somewhere cheaper than it might be ok I suppose.

The average full time salary, including overtime, is £25428 in UK and £32604 in London (lower for women, higher for men, as usual....).
