And by the way in my view anything between £80k to £150k is not, in my opinion, some kind of huge fat cat salary. Its quite a normal salary for professionals such as doctors, lawyers, accountants. Most of my similarly qualified professional friends earn salaries in that range. The real fat cats are the investment bankers, hedge fund managers of this world. I have an investment banker friend who aged 32 earned £1.8m with his bonus last year. I have another friend who set up his own hedge fund and he takes £1.5m per year for doing very little indeed. Don't criticize the hardworking professionals who have clawed their way up to a salary that many in the square mile would regard as a pittance!

Setting up a hedge fund involves more than doing "very little" to say the least.

It would have been even more interesting if everyone posted their approximate job location too, as salaries do vary enormously depending on part of country, city or countryside etc.

To be fair, it hardly stimulates the economy does it?

You are right, and judging from your message in your case it does not stimulate your brain either.
If we only had occupations that stimulate the economy, what a sad life it would be.....

22- student in my 4th year of university.

Just started a part time job. Work 8-8 on a saturday or sunday(alternate weeks) earning £5.80 an hour as a residential care assistant. Poor money but easy work and it covers my living expenses. My student loan is £5000 per year.

care assistant at £5.80 - its the sort of job many, even in a recession, would turn their nose up at... but once you start it works out ok, A1 for attitude!

I work parttime at Tesco

I am Night Checkout customer assistant. With night allowance I earn around £8.50 an hour and staff discount is worth another £1 a hour + there are many other benefits too.

I don't think it too bad much better than most people seem to think. People seem to assume we are on minimum wage.

I also have my own architectural company providing clients with full plans approvals that turnsover around £20-£30k per annum so I take a dividend payment from that. unfortunately my partner she only earns £5.75ph due to her loosing her job and taking anything she could, at least we still got the roof over our heads tho.
