What jobs have you earning 35000 pounds per annum?

According to UK government policies, non eu peeps have to earn that in order to stay. What jobs offer these kind of salaries?

Keep in mind this is for someone with a year or two or none experience, graduating from uni (ug/masters).

A lot of the good ones pay that.
Banking, accounting, some tech firms, trading, consulting at a good firm, some engineering firms, medicine, dentistry

After more than five years, a lot of jobs pay this. After ten years, pretty much all grad jobs pay at least £40000

It's not that bad. A high salary is given to someone if their skills are in high demand. We want immigrants who are highly skilled to stay here so this is a good idea. However, I believe that some jobs- namely teaching, certain medical jobs and nursing- should be given exceptions since their salaries aren't strictly determined by demand and supply but by what the government thinks they deserve.

Price is determined by demand and supply. If someone's skills are in demand, they will be paid more. We want high skilled immigrants so this is a good idea. We don't need low skilled immigrants.
High school teacher.

That's because they work in the public sector so the price paid isn't the true value of the teacher since the government gets to pay them.

Certain areas with skills shortages are exempt from the salary limit.

This is the issue, another area I can think of is research. Pretty absurd that the minimum wage is that high.

I think they should just make an exception for public sector jobs that are in high demand. But the aim of the law is to reduce immigration and a lot of immigrants earn less than £35000.
