can i ask about your job

Chrismojam

I work for a local authority as a finance officer - bring home about £1525 a month after tax/ni and everything else I have coming out of it!!

Also going through job evaluation at the mo.....hoping for a regrade upwards.....would be nice.....wait and see.....however, council are now looking at how much it's going to cost and at what services they can invite 'expressions of interest' in.....

I am also at the point were I want to find something that pays well and is also meaningful to me...(somehow...I really don't think the two go together!!)....

I am AAT qualified (Accounting Technician)....so really should get myself registered as MAAT so I can do some self employed.....but I'd have to learn alot of it again...amazing how quickly it goes when you've done the exams and you don't need it for your job! I've ummed and arrghed about doing chartered accounts...but the thought of that just fills me with dread....I'd rather spend my time doing something I want to do (any ideas, please tell!!;) ...rather than flogging a dead horse!

Well I'm a student working part-time in retail on £5.60 an hour but aiming to get £6.00 out of them by February.

Dad's a self employed window fitter so his salary varies hugely

Mum works for Age Concern Advocacy, crappy pay about £675 a month for 30 hrs per week


But pay down here is terrible

I work from home for a well known internet based friends reintroduction website :rotfl: and earn about £1100 after tax.

I also work one day a week for a mobile phone shop - not had my first paycheque yet, but it's £4.30p/h plus commission.

I know I don't do badly for a 22 year old

I do mystery shopping when I can, and quidco and pigsback..

Will be starting my first course towards my degree in Feb, and am just about to start training for Brownies...hoping to restart a pack in my viilage soon...goodness...me as Brown Owl...be afraid children :rotfl:

Oh, go on...

I think you'd fall off your chair!! IM me if you'd really really like to know.

Someone asked how much it pays? It can be £250 one month, or £2,500 another. Usually paid in dollars too. Lots of nice pampering like hair and makeup too, 2 hours odd before a shoot. And sexy little gay guys there touching up the hair throughout :rolleyes:

It's quite fun. Very clicky scene. Has taken about 2-years to become slowly accepted in it. You have to be very professional about it too. Also quite tiring.

Legal assistant - I have no legal exec qualifications -just years of conveyancing experience. I do have a degree (BA with English and Psychology) I am a "fee earner" - but my hourly rate as billed to clients is far more than my actual earnings -take home salary being less than £1100 pm. It's a very stressful job.

- would love something better paid and less stressful with lots more holidays:D or preferably doing something from home. Don't think I'll ever be able to afford to retire - and time's running out

IT Manager in a school.

Pay: not as much as I could get in industry but great job satisfaction and comparatively little stress I also get to 'do my own thing' most of the time and all these plus the final salary pension make up for the lower salary. I don't have expensive tastes so don't need to earn megabucks.

I'm a resident manager at a sheltered housing scheme. Crappy wages about £900 month after tax , ins and pension deductions.
BUT good points are rent free flat, all utility bills paid, no transport costs to work etc. So i reckon it is worth another £500 a month in real terms. Only have to pay Council tax and tv licence so can't complain.:D :rolleyes:

I'm going to bed now, feeling very very poor. I work in IT for little over £750 a month but have no job as of December so will be looking hard for something thats :
1) More enjoyable
2) Less hours
3) More money

In that order too I think
