Actually I find quite annoying the 'coolness fee' of a shit salary for having an interesting (it actually isn't that interesting) job.
If I'm born again I will be DEV!
...or even worse, accountant O_o- An accountant? You are clearly mad and not v.creative at allckentish
- oi boss, don't get me wrong, but i've been working my ass off in the business for many years to find out that a lawyer fresh from uni gets the same than a senior designer.maikel
- ...from uni makes more money than a senior designer! I'm just saying that we are unfairly underpaid : (maikel
- Hombre_Lobo0
^yeh man.
Such bs, copywriters and planners get more than creatives...wtf it that about.
- supply and demand I guess. Too many people in the industry.Ranger

Maikel, I think I understand you. Sometimes I regret that I am not a lawyer. Well...my parents wanted me to be so I ended in IT :)

I dunno ECD salaries are as much if not more than lawyers etc...
Basically I think if you're clever and good you'll end up earning a lot of money whatever you choose to do...

Group Account Director £75k £90k
I'd love to get that amount in the States.
- kingkong0
Also I'd add that creatives are the lowest paid at the beginning but by the time they get to board level they are the highest paid and pampered by far.
You salary also rises a hell of a lot quicker if you're a good creative or planner than any other discipline...

Salaries for IA, that can't be right surely.
- kingkong0
@monoboy.
Yep. Most overpaid people in the fucking country imo
- maikel0
@ 303
IT isn't that bad...I know a few fellows in IT that are making more than a lawyer (about 6 figures, I mean).
I don't know many designers over the 60K mark...: (

Anyone got statistics for motion graphics ?
- ckentish0
I'm amazed people find it a surprise the creative industries are underpaid... Its an easy degree (to pass), the work is very fullfilling (usually) and 1000's of people chase very few jobs - supply and demand, welcome to capatilism.
- law and accountancy take at least 3 years on top of a good degree to be qualifiedckentish
- BaskerviIle0
there should be a pay scale for designers who actually know what they are doing and use their brains. Those people are in demand.
