I think I feel like a calzone from Pizza Express for lunch, you?

Thinking about sushi personally.

 

[Vanquish-Storm]

Why are MPs not on the list?

They take millions in back handers!

 

[Destination]

List makes no sense at all, any very good trade would be earning that and more. Brickies are getting over a pound a brick, and 1.60 a block at the moment.

1. Specialist Medical Practitioners – £66,035

Not even sure what that means? A specialist will be on a **** ton more than that!

 

[delta0]

These seem like very generic roles. There’s way more roles that can earn more but in more specific areas.

 

[CapitalOne]

Numbers are a bit low

 

[Scrutinize]

These are median salaries.

Hence disproportionate weighting to some professions where for example with train/tram drivers the salary distribution is highly normalised and tightly grouped.

Senior Officers and CEO salaries are skewed by public & charitable sector compared to the private sector; where the PAYE salaries, which is how this list is comprised, only forms part of the remuneration package.

Pretty close to my salary for IT stuff

Where's only fans gamer girl?

 

[bayo000]

Those salaries seem low to me.

 

[Nitefly]

Some of these seem quite low. But it looks like a set of well paid professions, sure, I guess…

 

[Stu999]

There’s more to life than money.

There’s more to life than money.

But without any money.. No. Life!

[Removed User 345456]

Why isn't being a 'creator' on OnlyFans on this list?

I assume this is accurate but i might be wrong, so much fake info on the net.

"A GP working in the UK makes on average £108,000 per year. GPs in England have the highest average salary across the UK at £111,900, whilst earnings are lowest in Northern Ireland at an average of £104,500 per year."

Imagine what an intelligent GP would earn.

Jesus. And how many times have I seen GPs Google while I'm there. More times than I feel they should.

Especially as GPs can live in very cheap areas.
