I would love to be a clinical psychologist, but an author and illustrator in my spare time. That is literally my dream <3
As long as I make enough money to live happily, I don't mind

You've got it spot on for me. Of courses you want to live comfortably with enough food and the means to enjoy life, however, rather than excess money i would be much happier with fulfilment, no regrets and the knowledge that i have people around me that i cherish

Well I'm starting my final year of uni in September so kind of need to start getting an idea. 
I've thought about it, just no idea what to do work experience in/ what to shadow. I don't have any interests in professions at this point.

Good luck with your final year s.s!

When considering future earnings it's worth thinking about what kind of jobs will be subject to increased automation as technology improves, and what could be outsourced overseas which will drive down wages.
Some of the financial services jobs might come in this category especially regarding outsourcing when trade deals are in place with countries like India that open up markets: Indian financial service firms will be more easily able to compete for UK contracts which should lower the cost by driving down fees from UK firms that are forced to compete with them. Which will be cheaper for businesses generally but may mean that some of the UK salaries have to come down to be more in line with the Indian ones.

how much do dentists earn?
about 60k 5 years after graduation, 80 - 90k average with experience (and specialisation), but if you're talented and running your own private practice there's no upper limit on what you can earn. One of our tutors became a millionaire by making smart business choices, although I don't think I will ever go down that route.
Then again I know of someone who started making 80k straight after his training year. I suppose it's like asking how much does a banker earn, it's so varied

I'm pretty sure international firms are already in India with their own dedicated teams that have a fee rate of whatever the local market can bear and compensation models of whatever the market can bear. Here in the UK we mostly deal with countries in Europe, the middle east (i.e. both very wealthy ecomomies) and Africa (same principle re:India). It's doubtful that firms will change this structure any time soon.
Although automation of some products and roles is a reality everywhere.

I want to create my own boutique advertising agency. After a few decades I want to expand and grow into a multinational giant. And finally, I want to die in a toilet in Las Vegas (not really but that would be a mildly cool, Elvis-style death).
Income or net worth: sky's the limit. I don't much care how much I will earn or what I'd be worth if I get to own and manage my own ad agency (successfully ofc). Clearly, If I'm successful, I'd be earning big £. But that's not really the goal, the goal is to create awesome ad campaigns and participate in the culture as a producer, not just a consumer.
