    There are 215 NHS trusts in the UK, so if each is paying the medium figure that would be over £19M.  Yikes
    For the full Daily Express effect, you're meant to also convert that into the "number of full time equivalent nurses" currency.
    Yes, that would be a useful comparison
    100 K  ?

    2 and a bit  Band 5 Nurses  working a 24/7 rota  , closer to  three if no unsocials  as the pay rates quoted in NHS materials are the basic  rates  without unsocial / shift pay

    £100k PAYE contractor has to pay both national insurance rates and gets no pay for holidays or illness. If you're lucky the take-home is £50,000

    You would then have very different expectations in the workplace with less flexibility in hours and usually less working from home. So increased travel and childcare costs too. Then lots of companies refuse to employ ex-contractors so longer periods without work potentially.

    It does work for older employees who's children are more grown up and who want to pile £40k tax-free into a pension each year 

    £100k however is the average salary in California. 
    Average. Move!

    You don't get rich from Salary. It's taxed and you never earn what you actually produce.

    Set-up a small business, or invest. 
    As the UK continues to sink in world trade and relevance you want to be one of the people who's income comes mostly from non-uk investments
    What would you say people should invest in?
