Well if that is the case I will advise the OH to find another job aswell - £22000 just isn't worth it for the amount of effort she puts in and the stress levels!

That would be a dreadful shame, and a waste of both her hard work and study and the cost of her traning. I worked as a nurse for many years, earning a pretty poor salary and enduring a lot of stress etc. I did it because I found it a vocation, and I believe the best teachers also have a vocation-it's not always about the money, even though it does grieve me that nurses and teachers aren't paid better for the vitally important jobs they do. (Teachers have a huge influence on the geneations to come who will run our country-we should be investing in that process, including enabling teachers to do a job they love and excell at by paying them a proper living wage.)
