How much do you earn

Ok so I'm nosy.
How old are you, how much do you earn, and how much do you expect to earn when you get to the top of your career path?
I'm 24, I earn just under 15K which goes up to just under 16K next month. And I'd expect to be earning around 25k to 30k soon in a few years time.

Its quite nice. I would not say no to being a kept woman. However, by next week that shall be the end of that
When I finally graduate I'd like lots please, and hopefully with an MEng from Cambridge in Chemical Engineering I'll get it. Chem Engers are the highest paid Engineering graduates which is a good start.
I'm 22 (nearly 23!) and have a 2:1 Bachelor of Science degree from University College London so in theory if I get well my earning capacity will be high but there are a lot of hurdles to be overcome first.
Every now and again though work can dry up and I can find myself out of work for a couple of days.
ETA, I've got afew A Levels but no education beyond that as such. A few Telecom training courses.
Not that I use any of it. All I need is my CSCS.
18k at the moment but that should rise by a few grand when i get promoted within the year, and then i'll start studying for acturial exams.
When I graduate I will earn at least 20k starting salary at age 22/23
ETA - I've got fuck all qualifications... but then I just do a fairly crap job with an amazing wage.
Is that guaranteed though? My sister came out of Uni with a very good vocational degree and only earns slightly more than I do. I see more of my wage packet as I'm not paying back a student loan. Employers these days seem to want degrees for what (in my mind) should be apprenticeship style jobs
If I stuck with this job (which I won't) I could, theoretically, earn about £50k a year. I have a non-vocational degree.
When I write my best seller, I expect the film rights to keep me in whores and coke until I die in a jacuzzi somewhere in Morocco after a life of debached hedonism.
Oh, and I'm 24.
So that will involve a bit of free work, a bit of paid work, a bit of everything really, just to get my CV up to scratch. My potential earnings aren't exactly capped though. In TV, you're looking at £200 a day minimum as a cameraman, rising to six figures as a director or close to six figures as a DOP, editor or any of the other important production jobs. In films, it just depends on the size of the budget. You can be a director working for expenses and food each day (because obviously anything not spent on paying the production staff can be spent on making the film better), or you can be one of the best camera operators around working for a huge salary. It's just a case of how good you are and what people are willing to pay. So since you're saying "potential earnings" I'll say eight figures as a director, plus a cut in the royalties.
i like your style, gotta reach for the stars ay....
I'm 22 and on roughly 30k when all's said and done, which I've been told is below the london average :eek2: i'm still only very junior in this field and some of the chaps who've been here 5 years or so are on ~80k+, the commission's uncapped so in theory it's just how good you are in the sales world, but i'm not in it for the long run because if you're not doing what you love you're throwing your life away, and i still haven't figured out what i love doing......well maybe i have in another sense, but that's for a different thread
I completely agree.
I don't earn bad money at the moment, but I'm bored to death. The problem is I'm 25 and still havn't figured out what I really enjoy yet.
