No wonder my dad gets a heart attack whenever I mention to him that I don't mind being a cleaner or binman, the pay is absolutely shocking, I thought binmen earned around £25000 on average but turns out they barely earn £17000 a year on average which is quite shocking, that amount of money is not really enough to afford a decent and comfortable living in London, same goes for bircklayers who work really hard to build homes for us, I just don't really know why professions such as programming developers, barristers, doctors, architects etc....have high pay and don't require much effort while hard working jobs like mining are such lowly paid.
Surely it would make sense to have it the other way round? That would mean more people will want to become bricklayers who can build homes and solve London's housing crisis.
