I did an apprenticeship as a junior financial analyst for £61 a week at 42hrs (7 years ago)
So yes I’d say the money is about right.
However, within 6 months I was given a Analyst’s role, and within 2 more years I was a senior Analyst earning £31k plus an expenses account, where as university graduates were joining the company and earning 15k and taking 5 or six years to get into any position of responsibility.
Apprenticeships are the way to go.
A lot of money in hair styling if she’s a clever girl, definitely a serious career these days, not like of old.
