is 28,000 good for grad law student?

So I'm getting an ordinary degree in law, but I have a lot of work experience in law and in project management and in data entry and I've got a job in project management which is £36,000 and its remote which is great but is it good enough for a freshly graduate student? The 28,000 is after tax of student loan plan and any taxes.

It is OK, depends what the career progression is and being remote means you will not have the opportunity to develop a wider professional network, which is a big disadvantage at the start of your career.

Some people will be earning less and some will be earning more. Where in the country matters, too. £25k in Cumbria is very differentto£25k in London. For example, some law graduate schemes start on £80k.

If your salary is outside London, allows you pay rent, save and spend, then that's great!

I think so. Most freshly graduated law students don't get as much the first few years

I wouldn't be surprised if within a few years you would be making much more. Look at the average income for a lawyer

The OP says their job is in Project Management, not law.

I can see why you are looking at it after tax and student loans but most people go by gross salary when it comes to comparisons.

Well done for getting a remote job in Project Management.

PM rates really depend on experience and industry type in PM roles.

Apart from being able to demonstrate you are a graduate, im not sure how your legal work experience or legal degree has much relevance to your PM salary. Are you delivering projects for a legal company?

You have indicated some PM experience (but not cited the number of years or level of PM) but you also said that you are a recent grad (most grads are 21/22 years old)

Are you a mature student who got a law degree after a PM background? Or did you study law part time or online while holding a PM job, for example?

Data entry is an entry level job and has zero relevance.

Depending on where you live, that is very good indeed. Don't worry about student loans. You don't even see that. I just checked my statement and I paid of less than it has gone up in interest. Roll on 30 years!
