Curiosity

[lnr]

A friend of mine recently wondered why they weren't earning 30K in programming, when it seemed like most of their friends were. So I'm curious as to what various people on my friends-list do. If you're not currently working but have done in the past feel free to fill this in with your most recent job in mind. If you don't want to reveal who you are, or if you don't have a livejournal, I'd still be interested in answers as comments instead.

NB Salary in UK pounds please, sorry for not making that clear in the question.

I say about right

but I've had other people be extremely surprised at how low paid people who work in preschool care are. So whether the norm is enough is another matter enitrely, but I was basing my answer on the norm, and knowledge of how stretched the preschool budget is, from my mother being a playgroup supervisor.

(OTOH, it's incredibly fun and fulfilling, and I'm currently in the process of looking into doing it more formally/longterm. And the hours are good, given that I have to work around school hours anyway.)
