Best Paying Jobs 2010

Best Paying Jobs 2010

The cost of living in the UK has always been ridiculously high. Housing, transport (in London you pay £4 ($7) to travel 4 stops on the underground and a 4 mile bus journey in Bristol costs you $11 return), energy (petrol i.e. 'gas' costs around $6.55 a US gallon - 110p per litre) all cost an arm and a leg and yet wages are not particularly high and you hand over a minimum of 25% to the government before you even get paid in the form of taxes and social security payments.

A survy bu the Office for National Statistics shows annual average wages for full-time employees rose by 2.6% to £25,800 ($41,280) in 2009 (that seems high as there are lots of people who earn a lot less).
