guest1957 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Maybe they just clump all bank staff together to take their averages? I imagine doctors have rocketed up there over the last 15 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipa Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) It's all tosh and a great generalisation. Love to know where they get their figures from. I have a couple of collegues.. mortgage brokers who are on £1m plus a year, the average in my area is just shy of 6 figures! Now, we are all self employed so I can only assume we are talking salaried, employed bods? Self employed friends I have in IT world earn £100k plus... guess there's a message in there somewhere.... working for someone else sucks! lol Edited February 14, 2013 by Vipa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear to only include employees. that makes more sense... it throws a false picture though as, just like a lot of industries, financial services has seen a huge swing to self employed from employed over the past 10 years.. particularly now that new (silly) regulatory rules have caused a lot of banks to simply stop giving advice and thus get rid of their sales forces.. there are probably more s/e advisers out there than employees now... I bet if it was a list of the highest earning careers/professions irrespective of employment status, the list would be completely different!

marktattoo Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well so far we have had ppi & other dodgy insurance products, there are also so called investments that certain banks have had to refund due to the product being mis sold, so what's the next thing they going have to dig deep for, oh there was another one fined the other day for libor rate fixing.

The highest earners in law are almost all outside of the PAYE structure through partnership, LLP etc structures. About 80% of barristers are self-employed.

Theft is a pretty serious allegation!? misselling & theft are by no means the same thing... Dodgy insurance products... I assume you are talking about endowments? Endowments were 'missold' because the market didn't perform as it had previously... hardly theft, in fact, other than a few miscreants in the industry, hardly misselling either... unfortunately, the public in this country on the back of what the UNREGULATED media tell them, don't seem to want to accept any culpability or responsibility for anything if it doesn't all go spiffingly well! Someone else ALWAYS has to be to blame, and if they aren't then blame someone else anyway because we just know the ombudsman will side with you! As for PPI... a lot was missold, a lot wasn't, plenty of fraudulent claims being presented and just paid out on because it's cheaper to do that than defend..... fraud with absolutely no consequence... great isn't it! The misselling was due, in the main to the pressure put on bank staff to achieve sales targets... nothing wrong with the product (I'm sure it safeguarded the financial future of a great number of people when they needed it) just in the application in a great number of cases! Certainly not theft! The Libor fixing debacle...... fraudulent activity by a few, again not theft... show me an industry that doesn't contain a rotten element... from finance to manufacturing to law enforcement to the church... such an industry doesn't exist.... The media tells you bankers are all evil and you should bash them.... you think they are all evil and you bash them..... Baa! I'm not a banker and I'm not defending their sales tactics or methods but you may want to revisit your use (or is it understanding?) of the english language!

Vipa Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) What about Footballers and other top sports people ie racing driver. Figgy They are all self employed figgy, hence my earlier post... this is a list of the highes paid 'employed' jobs.. far more people work for themselves in one form or another nowadays and so the list is pretty meaningless, particularly if it is meant as a heads up to those just starting out and deciding which way they should turn... I have a couple of clients who are plumbers... they earn 6 figures, a client of mine is a brickie... he earns a shed load... I also have a client who is a 1st officer for Virgin, a friend who is a judge and another friend on the board of a FTSE100 company... the plumbers and the brickie earn more than all of them! Although, I will say that the share options and retirement package in place for the latter is eyewateringly impressive!

Laird Lugton Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I have to admit I am a PAYE muppet, plenty of folk run their own businesses and seem to do a lot better. Good luck to them to, the more you can keep from the chancellor the better! Edited February 14, 2013 by Laird Lugton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
