Wage calculation

Terry_Towelling

For sure, there must be a mathematical answer to your question and you may have got it right with your figures but it is the less tangible things that need more thought and are less easy to work out.

So maybe it doesn't matter whether it takes you 5, 6, 7 or 8 years to catch up; if that is the job you want and you are confident that it will exist, and that you will be happily employed in it, for many years beyond the catch-up point, then that might be a more important view point to take.

How you work out those things I do not know.

I really don't believe that you can make this sort of calculation or predict income 5 or more years in advance. For all you know, you may fail your training, get the sack and end up on the dole after 6 months.

That would just mean the prediction was wrong, not that it was wrong to make it
