That's pretty good. Why is it that nurses wages are often flagged up as being low?
They used to be, and people still can't get their head around the fact that they no longer are.
Senior nurses will earn £35,000+.
My neighbour is an experienced accountant and he has a slot as a pub DJ 4 nights a week, which he claims makes him more money.
Me - teacher - 27 grand and I earn every fucking last penny of it. It's one of those jobs where your wages rise quite quickly in the first few years and by the time you realise you hate your job, you've grown to like the money and dont want to start again on a grad training scheme earning 15 grand.
They are better than they used to be. I think it is a comparable thing with other graduate jobs. When i graduated i was on £17,000, whereas everyone i knew started in the £20,000+ bracket. I also think it has to do with how much we are expected to do for that wage, more so now when the nhs is overstretched. We're consantly under-staffed and are quite frankly sometimes working in precarious situations. Howver i am quite happy with my wage, it is a good mount to live on, although i live in Swansea where it is relatively, so i can imagine if you lived somewhere more expensive you might struggle :yes:
I am currently on £15,133 a year, although thats before tax and pnesion contributions so in reality its a fair bit less.
i think it goes up a bit this year sometime, i am not certain.
I dont wann do this job now really but finding something better and what i want to do will be tricky.
Very true...it took my boyfriend 2 1/2 years of looking after graduation to find a job related to his degree. Up until then he had been earning minimum wage, woking in a supemarket to make ends meet :yes:
When I worked within the NHS it used to boil my blood when I heard nurses saying they were badly paid. Sure, if you're the lowest grade and don't have any ambition to move up the ladder then the pay is poor in comparison to those who can be bothered.
I'm 23 (almost forgot there!), earn about £15,500 and don't have any formal qualifications. I work for HMRC. Mr Bumble is the main earner in our household.
In which time-frame do you get paid.
Do you mention your salary per month or per year?
Unfortunately I do not get £27k a month.
I did not read through the thread and must have missed your post.
Well, when I got to know a girl from london she seemed to earn PRETTY much, even tho she said it wasn't that much. It's very different from here, because you seem to earn a lot more, but everythings more expensive as well, so I do not have a good grasp on uk salaries.
Someone mentioned earning 17,5k, which is 1458 pound/month, without education. That's 1,5 times more I expect to start with when I finished studying after 10 semesters (minumum).
Are those sums Brutto or Netto values? :chin:
They are after tax as a very rough rule of thumb i would minus around 25% from each salary to be paid in tax and national insurance.
Its a bit more complicated than that due to the different tax bands and the fact that you can get taxed on random thing such as having a parking space at work (depending on which part of the country you live in) etc so someone on £17.5K a year would take home around £1100 a month.
Which if you were in London rough prices for living a month would be
£400 for a room in a shared house (There is no way you could ever afford to own your own house earning that much)
£150 for bills and council tax
£100 to get to and from work
SO that leaves you with about £450 a month for spending money but most people have student loans to repay so probably your down to about £300 after you've paid that or about £70 a week - which is a meal for 2 in a nice restaurant including wine and tip but not a taxi home again.
I do belive however that it is significantly cheaper to live in other parts of the country though.
I'm hoping to pull an Infinite though, and have my first novel out before I'm 30
I have never had any complaints about my earnings, i think is more than reasonable for my age and experience, even moreso hearing on here what others my age receive. But the nurses earning £35,000 are few and far between. The ones that earn this are the specialist nurses whose jobs are few and far between, in my area at least...especially now with the NHS massive overspend :yeees: However the Ward Manager's/ Sister's/ Charge Nurse's, however they like to be known nowadays, earn up to about £30,000, which is nothing to be sniffed at!!
I know, I'm not defending it, I'd be much happier doing a 9-5 job than at uni, I've stated that before. But as the job market stands, you need a degree to be taken seriously in most jobs these days, just so the UK can say "'we're clever" but most degrees probably don't help people in their careers that much.
That's what they like you to think...
I know, but a lot of jobs that don't *technically* require a degree ask for them now. Look at any professional career. I'd like to go into possibly actuarial work, and they ask for a 2:1. But, you only need A level grade maths, and the rest of it you learn as you go and through experience, where at higher levels you will take a business scenario and give advice to clients which is 75% experience I'd say - but I won't even get a placement without that bloody 2:1 degree in the bag, because so many people going into professional careers these days have degrees they can pick and choose.
I got an A in A level Maths, and showed strength in statistics, probability and decision mathematics which is precisely the stuff actuaries use. Whereas doing a degree, I'll be doing stupidly high level mechanics stuff, maybe even string theory, which I'll only ever touch if I decide to do research / lecturing.
Surplus to requirements is a good thing, I guess, but I can't help feeling like in a way I'm wasting time that would be better spent getting good solid real experience. Although my family want me to get a degree because me and my brother are the only ones out of about 50 cousins who got to uni (like it's some holy grail), if I could start the job today with training without the degree I would, because I don't think it's going to help me day to day.
This is the kind of thing I am doing, in my first year in my first module, which I will likely never ever touch:

:yes:
Like most people, straight after graduatrion I was a temp doing data entry, and then I moved on to temping for Accenture.
This office is full of people like me, all law graduates who aren't quite sure what to do with life. It's not a bad job, though, although I obviously want more money.
Experience will get you the job ahead of inexperience, but an inexperienced graduate is better than an inexperienced non-grad.
I'm 20.
Anyways, I earn £5.35 before 12 and £5.85 after twelve. What I earn each week depends on the hours I get. It changes every week.
I have no idea what I'll be earning after University as I have no idea what I want to do.
I read that far too fast and thought I had a new admirer
The sign on the left means it wants the indefinite integral of that function.
But because it's got xs on the bottom, you have to mess about with partial fractions, then integrate it, then put it all together. A load of faff, basically.
*Snow white queen* - I know it's OTT, however I did include the £3000 tuition fees loan as well, which I don't personally see a penny off. Then over the year, I spend £2400 on accommodation, £1500 on food and going out, and the rest is well... I guess I'm going to take up driving lessons and save some.
Bear in mind though with the massive shortage of maths graduates, some of that is in fact 'bribery' to get me to do the course.
