bbc2 had a really good program on this, and showed what everyone in the country earns from like £0 - £500Kthose numbers arent really acurate because those are just the basic salaries, because brokers get £80K salary and then £80K plus in bonuses alone

[YFSD]

Suprised IFA's are not up there, they get nuff moneyTheir commission takes the piss

depends on who or where you work, mostly they earn an avg of 25-40k even with commision for many yrs. many ifa's dont even have their own mortgage

[Guest Robin_Van_PersG]

f*ck it PE teacher and head of year is me. 35k+, weekends off and 10 weeks holiday a year. The higher you move up the corporate ladder the more pressure (if the project flops your necks on the line) but the less work and more money you earn. Surprised at civil servant being so high.
