...in my dreams....
Sorry I know this isn’t for me lol, but I do webcamming full time and I try and make around £1000 a week, the money is definitely there if you put the time inDid you earn much from doing that?
Where do you live? Are you at the top band? I'm a band 5 community nurse and my pay is more that's why I'm askingI completely forgot about this thread - it’s been very interesting reading about what everyone does / earns for it! I’m quite shocked to be honest.
I’m 25, NHS nurse in an ICU, full time, £26,900. Average monthly income varies between £1500-1800. That’s working every Sunday (extra £) and 6-9 night shifts a month (contact is minimum 50% nights, but they’re also extra £).
I also make sure I do minimum 4 bank shifts a month, depending on my shift pattern. A long day gives me £190 and a night £280.
My partner is 31, he’s a helicopter pilot in the Army and is on £62,800. He works away Mon-Fri and is home at the weekends. Finishes “work” by midday most days... Hard life...
Mortgage, house bills, insurance, food shop, holidays, dog related stuff (no children), house renovations, blah blah is all split 50/50 from a joint account then we have a joint savings account for “future stuff”. He puts more into the savings account a month than I do because he earns a little bit more... Then the rest of our money is ours to do what we like with. He is amazing at saving, whereas I waste my money on cushions and shoes.
It would be nice to earn more but COVID has taught me that I’m lucky to earn anything, that we are both employed in jobs / by organisations that are “stable”. However awful and tough ICU was and how much I wished for just one day of furlough during the worst of it, I was so lucky to not be laid off and to be able to pay my bills. Really feel for anyone whos business has been affected. (Sorry, tangent).
I work on a hospital switchboard and take home between 1400-1700 a month and thats a 38 hour week covering all shifts.I completely forgot about this thread - it’s been very interesting reading about what everyone does / earns for it! I’m quite shocked to be honest.

That's amazing, is it tax free, do you have to declare it. Just asking as I am nosySorry I know this isn’t for me lol, but I do webcamming full time and I try and make around £1000 a week, the money is definitely there if you put the time in
Yep it has to be declared, wish it didn’t LOL!!That's amazing, is it tax free, do you have to declare it. Just asking as I am nosy
I can't do it as I lack the necessary body parts.
Relevant answers are always welcome!Sorry I know this isn’t for me lol, but I do webcamming full time and I try and make around £1000 a week, the money is definitely there if you put the time in
South East England. & No nowhere near the top! XWhere do you live? Are you at the top band? I'm a band 5 community nurse and my pay is more that's why I'm asking
I started when I turned 18! (I’m 20 now) I was in that awkward stage of a new job where you don’t get paid for the same month, so I thought how can I get some extra cash! I then went full time in March this year!Relevant answers are always welcome!
That is insane. How did you get started. Fill me in as I am intrigued . If you don’t mind of course!
But you’re not just “sitting at home on your laptop”, like you said you studied hard and worked hard to get where you are! And your job is needed just as much. Yes people like me (Nurses etc) don’t earn massive money but we knew that when choosing this job (or career if I can). The over time for extra money and long days on our feet etc are just part of the job. However it is nice to feel valued / hear people think we do a worthwhile and somewhat underpaid job, even if it has taken this awful pandemic to bring that to light. But anyway what I’m trying to say is you deserve all you have worked for! It’s nice to understand others situations though isn’t it.I am shocked at what people earn. I am 50 and earn just over £73k ( £75k last year with bonus) for a 37.5 hour week, no overtime or stress; nice colleagues and boss. No pay rise or bonus this year, but don't care; I feel fortunate to have a job. I'm a qualified accountant, the exams were tough and I used all my holiday and spare cash on studying. I could have aimed higher, but I took a career break to raise my 2; plus I didn't want the stress. I know some may think it is a boring job, but it suits as I get to deal with people all over the world. But when I look at how much nurses and carers earn; and others in the medical world; when they do such a valuable job. Could add many more that we valued during this pandemic, shop workers, refuse collectors, etc. Pretty much on their feet all day or night, and I am sitting at home on my laptop. & don't get me started on influencers.
Ah thank you for your reply. Makes me too feel valued. Keep up the good work. It is nice that we value the work others do in society.But you’re not just “sitting at home on your laptop”, like you said you studied hard and worked hard to get where you are!

However I do agree on “influencers”, a complete insult to any hard working person.
I’ve worked in finance for around 15 years (AAT) I’ve always been stuck around £25k a year as a finance assistant. I’ve just started studying for my CIMA (am in my late 30’s), if you don’t mind me asking - which industry/sector do you work in? Thankyou for the insight, has confirmed to me I am doing the right thing spending the time and money on my education xI am shocked at what people earn.

I kid you not, I could have written this. I once got a £20 pay rise. I should have quit that day because it was such an insult. I have a degree and years of experience, a great work ethic, but I kept getting shafted because the workplace was toxic and chauvinistic. I wish I'd left sooner but I'm glad I've left now. I realized all too late that a woman in that place was never going to be paid fairly. <- this bit may not apply to you but it was a big reason I was underpaid for so long.Reading this thread makes me so sad.
I'm 25, work in e commerce in the East of England and earn £18k. No bonuses at any time of the year, no overtime pay only toil. I've been there two years now and have only had one genuine payrise and that was for my whole department because higher ups realised we were underpaid for what we do (I mean we're still underpaid), any other payrise was because minimum wage went up (I literally got a £100 payrise once lol). I wish I was on more, google tells me my job is at least £20k min, £24k average across the country.
I'm grateful I've got a job, and I would like to get a new job but I don't know what in as I don't really have any specialist skills and all jobs require x amount of years in x role etc. Getting a job near where I live was difficult before covid
