Ive noticed a bit of a trend from the responses tp this thread, why is it that the female folk are happy/very happy to accept this sort of salary with little or no qualms yet the males tend to think its good but frankly not amazing?
I would have thought before seeing this thread that there would be little variation because TSR is populated by high academic achievers of both genders

Most people on here are intolerably naive
I doubt I'll ever earn 40k, but I'm not motivated by money. 40k is a lot. -

I'd consider it a very good salary. I'm on £14k and happy.

Its worth getting out of bed for. I think allot of people will be shocked whilst trying to find a job. Theres nothing wrong with being ambitious but inevitably i think allot of people on here will be dissapointed with what they ultimatly earn.

it's a good salary, but I want to earn enough that I can live in the way I have become accustomed to -ie multiple holidays, nice big house and swimming pool and holiday homes, not having to worry or think if something like a massive gas bill pops on the doormat or if I had to get a plumber in to fix something etc.
this is assuming it's like a final income. I'd be very happy to start on a salary like that! But once you have family etc, school fees, clothes, food, bills, all add up and 40k isn't much for a family of say 5 to live on. -

Well it certainly wouldn't allow me to live in a big house, with a couple of 4X4s in the drive and 4 privately educated children but...
Apart from that I'd certainly be happy with that. My mum doesn't work and my Dad earns a bit less, but we've (+ a sister) been pretty confortable and have had nice holidays. I should be able to earn at least a little over that in a few years if I work hard so it's all good. -

My mum makes 40k a year, but there's 3 of us and she's the only income so it doesn't really stretch as far as people think it might.
Plus we live in Central London. -

i heard that earning £34k and above your in the top 25% of earners in Britain.
Of course its a good salary, i'd be happy with salary of at least £18k once i've graduated and in the long term around £28k -

If we talking about height of career than no, I wouldnt be happy with double that. Id barely be content with triple.
Im not one of those people obsessed with hoarding money. I just have certain things I want to spend it on. -

For the North that's a fairly high salary but I'd be hoping to earn more than that before the age of 28.

Yes I'd be very happy with that salary. It's nearly double what I'll earn when (if!) I qualify.
