Im 44, my income varies, Im self employed, but around £5000 or so.
Ive worked in jobs where Ive earned 5 times as much and been thoroughly miserable, so the lack of income doesnt bother me that much.

paulineb agree money isn't everything but the talk of salary is soya boo in this country. I'm just mega curious.

System

56 - £31k plus £13k pension

Starting work at 22 - £3500 pa
At 28 - £9000 pa
At 32 - NZ$ 56000 pa (at the time, around £20000)
At 40 - contract rate £330 per day
At 48 - c£36000 pa
Now, at 54, after a career change - £27K when working full time

I'd say £30K at 27 is not bad, some will be earning more (and a few a great deal more) but a lot will be earning less.

25 - between 15k and 16k a year, I work contracts, so not always in work. I'm also based in London. But if I were to work all the time at my current rate, it'll be more like 18-20k I'd earn. I'm hoping I move up the career ladder this year, instead of being stuck on the bottom rung!

I am 29 (30 later this year).

I am a qualified Teacher, not working as one.

I work in outreach.

I earn just under £12000 per year, for 29 hours (4 days) per week, 39 weeks per year (paid only for the weeks I work plus 5.6 weeks holiday, so 44.6 weeks a year).

The FTE of my salary is about £17000.

I am a mum of one toddler (newly ish single), so I don't work in jobs that pay up to my earning potential. I have had previous employment earning 20+ thousand per year (pro rata if part time) and now that I need to work full time again because I am single and struggling in a mortgaged house, the jobs I am applying for have salaries anything from 15k to 26k and range from term time only to all year hours. The salary often depends on whether private company or LG. I currently work in LG.
