You can make £800 a week being a governess for home schooled kids. My friend earned £500 a week being an au pair,she had a built in, but separate flat, and had a car bought and paid for. They even used to give her extra "pocket money." Obviously she couldn't keep the flat, but they offered to let her keep the car when she left after 3 years. She thought there was no point as she was going back to Australia anyways. I've also got teacher friends considering moves because of the high pay, benefits, lack of stress, and actual respect.
