ok you thousandaires.,,..,.,
what do you think a  good days pay is????
8am till 5pm ??
i will give my thoughts.,.,.,
average=£100 a day
good day £250 a day
very good day £500-£600

this is regardless whether you shovel shit.,.,.,or buy stocks and shares...,or even play poker.,.,
                                                           YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE

gross or net?

Anything over £10 per hour is good IMO.

A good day would be shorter than 8am till 5pm.

it's a question that's impossible to answer really.  Most people would, I imagine, consider a good day's wage to be enough to cover their outgoings with enough left over to do the stuff they want to do, and put some aside for the future.  How much that would need to be depends on so many factors.  My wage would be considered by some to be a 'good' wage, but I don't have a fantastic standard of living.  If I had no children or financial committments, and didn't live in London, I would probably be pretty comfortable.  At the moment, for me to feel like I had a 'good' standard of lving I'd be looking at brining home twice as much per month.  15 years ago when I started my first job my annual salary was about a 10th of what it is now but I could spend almost all of it on myself!

i would happilly sacrifice a testicle to work these hours and get the same money as i earn

wouldnt get out of bed for less than five grand personally....

 ;whistle;

You wouldn't get me into bed for less than five grand personally........

really? *deletes robert from party invite list* :D

was talking to laz, as Matt will tell you, I do special offers.

 :o when you said you have a special trick with bananas thats not what i had in mind!!!!!

Well you got your 5 daily portions in one go, what more can you ask for?

ok - you're back on the list! ;D

Thank you, will be bringing the fruit bowl.

Thought you were single Rob ??

back to the thread

I live at home with my parents, who will be charging me £200 a month rent when I start my new jobs. With other things to pay out like travel and food etc I will have about £400 left to myself to spend on what I like. Maybe more than that. This will be off £13,500 pa so I dont know how much that equates to an hour (9-5). Cant be arsed to get the calculator out. But considering I no longer play poker, and my main interest is chess it doesnt cost a lot of money so i can save it, so its a good standard of living for me living at home. Living on my own would be different and I imagine £13.5k would be sub standard living. A good annual wage for someone living on there own would probably be at least £18-19k. Although it could be more now credit crunch is hitting us all.

thnx for being the only one to say lol.,.,

col,kev,,,,how much would it take seriously to get you to work for me,regardless of what you would do..,.,
i dont want you but just a nosey ba5tad really,,,,,

i reckon kevs answer would be £150 a day ?  am i far out either way??
i tell you what if i had any jobs going for anyone.,,.the first one would go to TAXIMAN..,.,seems a decent guy..,.,

I reckon i'm on 50 a day net. So 100 would be lovely at the moment but like Fugly says it depends on your situation. Renting with 2 others and i'm ok with 50 while i'm still doing my training but i couldn't live on my own.

i work at a bank and dislike my job, i earn good money but that doenst mean i have a great standard of living, i hate going to work everyday and no mater what i earn it doesnt make up for the 9 - 5 heartache i go through.  I have a decent career infront of me, a career some of my friends would love to have access to but whats the point if you hate it?

£200 per day would be a good day in my eyes. 

In my line of work it is difficult to give an hourly rate. I have to keep my skills honed by keeping up with changes and that happens on an almost daily basis. When I do my work and people think I'm done for the day,  but then I have to get stuck into reports, billing, chasing payments and such. Though I only work as a part time freelancer at the moment I seem to put in a lot of hours. I would be happy if I were to average £250-£300 but that's not happening at the moment.

Maybe I keep the wrong company but I know hardly anyone who brings in over £100 a day on average, and no one who earns over £250 a day.  Personally I earn around £70 I think, after deductions, but I have a job I enjoy and not once in nearly 4 years have I dreaded going in. I could probs earn a couple of K a year more if i really wanted to push myself, but money is not the be all and end all of everything IMO

The mean average wage I think is about £100 a day, but everybody knows that this is skewed by some very high earners and by London wages.

From what I've seen before I think in terms of what you're most likely to find people earning around the country, £60-£70 p/w is what most people actually earn

This is a very good point.

In my job I have this much responsibility:

<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

For this much pay:

<-->

But I love my job so the money isn't so important.

Oddly enough, that's the excuse I use for being on here all day.

A good wage is relative to loads of things, some outlined in this thread.

How much do you need? what are you willing to do for it? do you want a job you enjoy? how much responsibility do you want?


I gave up my career at PWC along time ago because earning X amount a day don't mean shit unless your happy.

im on about £190 a day, until thursday then im on duck all, oh no wait I can claim benefits so £10 per day

I am happy because I have a job I enjoy, obviously I would love to earn more as it would make my goal acheivable more quickly, but I have to be realistic and know my current position is more than I could have hoped for,

That said if anybody has a job in the Philippines I would work for £5 a day without question.

It depends what the gig is tbh mate, if its to doss about in sunny cyprus just being your pal, I would do that for £50 a day PLUS expenses.

If its manual work I wouldnt do it at all ... my hands are as smooth as a babys arse and have never done a days hard graft in my life ... I aint gonna start now :)

Very true - but then sometimes you get to a point where you cant afford to give up X amount a day because your life has changed (family, mortgage etc).

Personally i would love to be able to have a total career change, but circumstances dictate that i wouldnt be able to afford it - so i have to continue with the job i am in.

Just over $100 for a full day, but I'm a student and so it doesn't matter.  8)

+2 :(

I jacked in a job and took voluntry redundancy 3 years ago thinking grass would be greener on the other side, after 2 years and 3 jobs all less pay and more work i returned to the original company. I'm no longer in the position of responsibility (stress)i was in before i left and earn around £6000 less a year but ultimately i am happier.
