- how much people in jobs with similar amounts of training earn - how much you can afford to pay - how unpleasant/dangerous the job is - cost of living? (eg London weightings)
I'm not sure what else at the moment. I don't really expect law lecturers to end up earning as much as lawyers to be fair, even if it does read a bit like that. I do think it's sad that someone at the rally yesterday said she was nearing retirement and earning 9K a year less in higher education than she would have done if she'd stayed in teaching.
Basically I feel like I don't know enough to argue about it though, and maybe that means I don't know enough to be justified in taking part in this action?
I note *I* don't feel underpaid, despite the fact I'm a fair way below that 35K. I could possibly get paid more out of academia in the IT industry, but that would probably feel overpaid to me.
