Though they may have a debt the equivalent of a mortgage when they graduate I agree on the debt though, my 9 year old is desperate to be a vet and we're already saving for her 5 years at uni! :lol: |
Re: Wages in the UK
These wages are just way of the mark..an architect earning 40k..i think not and a dentist on 45k really..not in a million years..these have to be starting salaries..my job is on there but i was earning 20k more than is shown there when i was in the UK.

if true then that is horrific FFS even at a junior entry level a bean-counter here makes as much as that in dollars and currency parity is my bible as a dollar is, as far as i am concerned, same as sterling given the cost of living across the pond so in retrospect i made the right decision when i got out some 51 years ago:) |

Interesting list of incomes for 400 different jobs in the UK, is there much difference in the wages being paid here for similar jobs?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/art...cupations.html Yes, there is. In my occupation I started at a salary in the same range as one that I would earn as a Director in Britain. When you do the conversion the salaries are similar, but people living in the UK are earning those as real amounts, not as salaries converted to Canadian dollars. |

Think he means that doing a pure conversion doesn't tend to give an accurate comparison with the differences in taxes, living costs etc.

Re: Wages in the UK
i get a better basic here, and i work more overtime here too...so all in all i'm probably a lot better off

Re: Wages in the UK
Those are terrible wages. All of them :blink:

Re: Wages in the UK
Rather meaningless as they appear to be an average of everyone in the profession.

I agree on the debt though, my 9 year old is desperate to be a vet and we're already saving for her 5 years at uni! :lol: If I had to decide what to do after school now, I'd be a plumber. Same smells less stress, more money! |
