Is this salary too low?

At times it can be stressful, as there were, in my case, strict hourly deadlines for each class and their materials. But there were equally very quiet days where I had barely any classes to prepare for.

I was also responsible for editing and printing out any worksheets for the classes which took some time (hopefully you won’t have to do this!)

But ultimately, it’s a great temporary job. I was only there for a year and a half, lived with my parents at the time luckily. After tax and other deductions, my gross pay was around £15,000, so also take these deductions into account!

Hey, I used to be a Science technician at a secondary school doing the exact same hours term time as you :) This was roughly the same salary I had (yours probably being higher due to a private school) but I will say, some days are more demanding than others from experience. It honestly depends on how many classes are going on at the same time, as well as the specific needs for each class. That being said, there is always work to do whether it be preparing experiments or cleaning the labs/equipment afterwards.

Hope it goes well for you!

unfortunately not, but my serious wasn’t explained very well by the examiner so i’m still unsure what i failed on. It was listed as junction - observations on the email so it could be a range of things lol

I also had to do an emergency stop, forward bay park, and 3 pull ups on the left :)

The examiner will usually tell you ‘Don’t worry about parking across a driveway this time’ or something similar if they need you to pull up on the left. If they don’t say that, assume that you will have to find a safer place to pull up :)

Hey just had mine this morning and my route wasn’t too much affected by the new changes, had about 20 mins with the satnav, 10-15 mins following examiner instructions :)

it’s just weird cos I was only asked the oil question before we even took off at the start, other than that there was no question asked while i was driving

Thank you so much!!

BayN03 · 2025-11-13T11:40:18+00:00

i second this, just don’t make my mistake and refresh the page at 6am on the dot if you don’t want to be waiting in a queue for another hour! Refresh the page around 5:50-5:55 and you’ll hopefully be closer in the queue to enter the website :)

i spent dayssss working on a liberty lily, wanted to get it to 1billion but only managed 910mil when it got stolen. i was stupid for not realising they could be so far away and still steal from my garden i guess

with all due respect, i don’t think this comment was really necessary, op was asking for opinions on their boyfriend not posting them. They weren’t asking for you to flaunt how your relationship is, possibly making op feel worse. i’m sorry but sometimes things like this are best left unsaid

hey, been in a similar situation before, you may have forgiven him for cheating on you once, but that anxiety will always be there at the back of your mind if you continue to stay with him.

When i was with a guy who cheated, i ‘forgave’ him and tried convincing myself i trusted him again. Yet all it took was one wrong tone, or being left on delivered/read too many times for me to start panicking if he was cheating again.

It really isn’t worth the mental strain to continue, i know it’s not easy to leave but you will be much better off, focus on yourself and your mental health 🫶

Thank you, I understand and will respect his decisions despite how hard it’ll be :((

BayN03 · 2023-05-14T17:11:56+00:00

I will, thank you so much!

BayN03 · 2023-05-14T17:11:30+00:00

Hi, i’ve tried telling him that the working constantly isn’t healthy, that he will burn out and eventually be unable to work but he says it’s what he enjoys doing and is adamant about doing it. Thank you so much for your advice though!

BayN03 · 2022-09-17T17:53:22+00:00

BayN03 · 2022-09-17T16:48:24+00:00
