Why are you posting their annual wage then? You think £22k is a lot, I think that's about what the average starting wage a graduate would get. Tell me when they start getting paid £35k. How many years' experience, Les? And how many years it takes to become a £60k consultant midwife?Originally Posted by les_taxi
Joe, you are starting to look silly now. Where did I say they should not get paid properly? Show me please. I have the utmost respect for the medical profession and value all they do. So an experienced midwife on about £35,000 is not enough you think? You cannot say that is a poor wage.
I maybe could have been a male nurse but it was not the job for me.
Don't forget, this 1% increase would apply to those top paid consultants on over £100,000. You are a closet Tory
What's the starting wage of a consultant, Les? Also, do you have any idea of what is the minimum age say a surgeon could be to get this starting wage?
I'll help you Les, you leave school with some 'A' Levels, take a 5yr medical degree, 2 years foundation training, 7yrs training as a surgeon - that's if you are lucky and manage to pass each exam and find a placement for the next year. What's that? They would be a minimum of 32 yrs old, and been continuously studying and getting in debt for the last 14yrs - and you think £60k a year is too much Les?
