Rates of pay should be determined by type of work ,location etc .

I notice alot of the people saying 150-180 is a days wage are down south.. Where you have to pay through the nose for a one bedroom flat!, so up in the lovely north we can make money go a lot further!

Eg down at twickenham and paid just over a fiver a pint!! Where my local is a couple of quid a pint. So does that mean I can pay 75 a day as its a lot cheaper up here? Probably not.. End of the day as a subbie you take what your offered and if your not happy go elsewhere ad you may get more But don't come crying ack when you find grass ain't greener and it goes tits up.... Just a thought...

I also agree. I worked 13yrs. for a well known charity with large UK land holdings. It paid almost nothing, hardly a living wage for a frugal person. But I really liked both the job and being mainly outdoors. Ok so it had its downs but the ups more than made up for them.

 

There's a great deal to say about enjoying what you do. You may not have a huge house house, you certainly have to think twice before buying something you want but may not really need. But how many people trudge through their working day, 50wks of the year, just so they can enjoy the other 2wks in the open air? Compare that to being able to enjoy, (all the time) what they aspire to, as they look at their screensaver of last year's holiday amongst the trees.

 

If you have a reason to love your job and it may not be the money. Then enjoy it for what it is; for what it gives you that you'd not get elsewhere. If on the other hand, you dwell on the money others are making. I humbly suggest, you may be in the wrong job.
