      I earn £40,000 pa but up until the age of 30 I earned very little at all as I was a PhD student (it has got better since the days of £3,500 pa on a studentship)

      I make £27,500 per year but I would rather be making £40,000 like Tim.

      I’m also a lecturer and I earn the same as Tim…and I was also in a similar situation when I was a poor PhD student!

      I get paid £13,000 a year which works out about £1000 a month. If you work it into an hourly rate it’s £6.25 an hour which is the same as a shop assistant would get! But it’s tax free and i’m still a student so I still get student discount in the shops that things! 🙂

      Like Tom and TIm, I get paid £40,000 for my normal work. But I also do a lot of science work as a volunteer, where I don’t get paid at all.
