How Much Do You Get Paid?

[Sterling Archer]

This is purely for a bit of research, I don't want it to turn into a haha I've got more money than you debate and wasn't expecting exact figures from posters.

 

Thanks

[Craigieboy]

A project?

 

.

[Sterling Archer]

Yeah, well sort of.

 

It's something I want to investigate on the back of a discussion at work.

 

I'm on a student placement with a company up here and some of the people in my team were shocked at what the minimum wage was and that people got paid such low amounts.

 

I think it could be just because it's Aberdeen and it's in a bubble but maybe not, maybe I should expect more?

[conn artist]

hopefully more after my yearly appraisal with the boss tomorrow. fingers crossed.

[hughesie27]

Would be interesting to see how old the posters were related to their incomes.

[Sterling Archer]

If anyone is willing to disclose then that's fine but I think that it could get a bit ugly if that happened.

[Guest King]

Intresting.

 

I would like to know what the high earners do for a living?

 

I am a student

[hughesie27]

I'm 18 a Student and earn about 5K Max!

[Sterling Archer]

As mentioned I'm a student so would usually be earning just part time wages (used to work at a supermarket though). This year it's closer to the 20k mark but that won't last, back to being poor again next year.

[allanio]

Currently ?300 a month as I'm a final year student. It'll be more when I start work next year (hopefully!).

[mrmarkus1981]

1/5 less than i did last year due to the recession, 4 day weeks now!!!

I'm curious as to the 8 jobs that pay over 60k a year but still let you sit on jkb during normal work hours?

 

male escorts?

[The Rev]

Still at school and get paid ?30 a week, whatever that works out at per anum.

You'll find alot of exec jobs involve a fair amount of "dossing about". I know one or two in the financial sector who take home more than that but work about 4 hours a day.

[I P Knightley]

Do you want income pro-rated up to full-time equivalents?

HaHa....hang on in there CB. You will find out later in life that typically the less you do, the more you get paid.

 

I work for a US based microelectronics company and am basically my own boss (my real boss is in California). So, yeah, I can spend countless hours trawling t'internet or just sit picking my nose. I do have to work sometimes, e.g. last week Valencia, next week Treviso. In my defence, I am a qualified engineer and have 30 years experience in high tech industries.

 

Choose your buisiness sector carefully, Public service pays sh*t, unless you are high up the tree. High tech, Bio-Pharmaceutical and Oil & Gas are best paid, but the best of all is to have your own business.

 

Good luck

Probably a load of pesh tbh or maybe you are correct and they are indeed botty bandits for hire.

I'll butt out then.

[Dik Mar Van Nostrilboy]

if your on 60 grand or over a year why are you on kickback, i would be rollin in my bed of money.

[CraigSN1]

I work in sales, and although it varies i'm disappointed if I earn anything under 950 per week, before tax.

[Heaven98]

if your on 60 grand or over a year why are you on kickback.

 

Maybe because we support HMFC?

Oil and gas is probably my best bet, with one of the American companies at the moment, hopefully get offered something after I graduate

[Cigaro]

Because I'm part time, my basic salary is ?6.2k pa

 

When I started at Tesco, same hours per week, it was ?2.7k

Hope you are not 1 of those male escorts mentioned earlier and its your ass you are selling:10900:

 

Only joking what is it you actually sell as thats pretty decent money you are making.

Central heating systems.

[sam]

Central heating systems.

 

I need to give up driving the bus and get selling the central heating systems.

[Victorian]

i work for a small company and it's really good so i am happy to accept a bit less than perhaps i could earn elsewhere. then the credit crunch happened and suddenly the job market sways violently in favour of the employers so you tend to suddenly lose the (perhaps deluded) perception that you're doing your employer a massive favour.

 

i just hope i am suitably compensated with my usual christmas bonus and pay rise.

 

surprising spread of results i think.

[Currahee!]

If I worked a straight year with no overtime or standby I'd be on around ?28k.

 

OT etc. can boost my wage big time. But that just depends on circumstance!

[Craig Gordons Gloves]

if your on 60 grand or over a year why are you on kickback, i would be rollin in my bed of money.

 

unfortunately, the govt take a chunk of it.

 

The bed of money is actually quite small, and it hurts to roll about on a bed of quarters and dimes.

 

[Sooperstar]

Central heating systems.

 

Do you force sell them onto pensioners who don't know any better?

 

That's what I'd do, that's where the real money is.

[CraigSN1]

No, its not cold calling - pre arranged appointments.

I've been accused of getting paid far more than I earn.

[Uberjambo]

Still at school and get paid ?30 a week, whatever that works out at per anum.

 

What year? You can't work that out? and the spelling...........................

Just a wild stab in the dark here, but I'm guessing that you don't do Arithmatic at school.

I'm on my lunch break so thats why I'm browsing KB.

[super_vlad]

is it how much you get paid ? or how much you earn ? Different things, also what if you are self employed ?

[Markie]

No option for being a jakie and living off government handouts??

 

 

P.S. - I'm not asking so I can pick it as an option!

[The Gasman]

Like you didn't do spelling?

 

I got an "A" in Higher English, I'll have you know.

 

Since then my years of drinking seem to have robbed me of the ability to spell even the simplest of words.

[The Rev]

What year? You can't work that out? and the spelling...........................

 

I'm too much of a lazy barstard to work it out, but since you insist, the answer is ?1560, so ha.

Currently sitting higher maths, hoping to achieve an A.

 

Arithmetic as a subject never really seems to get taught anymore.

I assumed that the poll was asking for salaries in ?GBP. Did you yankeedoodles remember to convert?

Ha ha...

[Rosewood]

I get tax free dollars, am I allowed to gross this up for the amount I would be paying in tax if I lived in the UK to make it look like I earn more?

[gadgey55]

42k last year. I'm a greedy sod with 2 jobs though!

[tommythejambo]

I get between 3.5k-4k.

 

But that's mainly down to working part-time about 12 hours a week, due to being at Uni.
