I'm a 24, a chartered tax advisor, and nearly a chartered accountant. Work in central London and on £42k.
Get contributions to pension, private health care. I'm pretty happy with this arrangement! Ps didn;t go to uni - so just want to say its possible to get a good job without a degree.

Can't complain and consider myself one of the lucky ones not have a pay cut during the hard times in the engineering industry.

21, earning £25500 as a Corporate Services Manager. Final salary pension scheme being the only benefit I've found so far!


Still no hope of getting on the property ladder due to living in super expensive Surrey!!!!

Joosh

18 years old. Heavy Vehicle Technician working for the Engineering and Maintenance department of Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.

Apprenticeship. So they pay my way to College, for at least 5 years, and possibly 6. Each year gains an NVQ level so hopefully will come out with a Degree in Engineering from Oxford Brookes. Best part is that the faster I complete the NVQ's the faster I get my equivalent pay rises.

Starting salary of £12787. Going up every NVQ level according to government pay scales. On 5th NVQ level the pay will have increased to at least 20,000, plus extra for being on call. Not sure what salary is once completely qualified. Inc on call probably around 28k per annum.

All transport to do with work and college paid for either by hire car and fuel payments or fuel payments in my own car.

Local government final salary pension scheme, I pay a small percent into it and the company pays the rest.

All other Fire Service perks, free Gym membership, discounts on many holidays and health services (e.g. opticians).

23 days per year Holiday, increasing with the time I stay here. After 5 years goes up to 28. I spend most of it abroad in Norway and Spain skydiving.

Sick pay is 30 days full pay 30 days half, going up every year, ending up after 5 years at 6 months full pay, 6 months half pay.

Im pretty happy with it so far.

I'm a cook in a care home, last week I was on just shy of 25k, this week my hours have been cut to 18 because the council has taken on an outside firm to provide food in all its homes the swines.

My best job was a head chef at a country house hotel, I had a basic salary of 20k, plus a 10% profit share and a rent free flat.

Night club bar staff, I'm 19

Currently no wage, as I'm not getting any hours. But normally, £6/h on a Friday/Saturday, which includes 50p/h unsocial hours pay.

Hoping to change to something that pays or get a secondary job atm though because I can't live on nothing...

Scrap that, got made redundant this afternoon.

Unemployed student.

Airline pilot. Basic is £49032 plus approx £12k in allowances/sector pay, not all of which is taxed.

Plus Armed Forces pension of £11,500 a year, of which Mr Darling takes 40% of course.

Perks? Well, the sun's always shining above the clouds (unless it's dark of course) and no 2 days are ever the same.
