Majority of UK Doctors don't make half of that
Plumbers and Electricians make as much as UK Doctors
Ask anyone in UK

How much does an electrician make in the UK vs how much a surgeon makes? Please help us with the number..real verifiable website like recruitment sites.

Luckily I lived in the UK too for a few years.

Before we hire a lineman at my place of work, they must be able to drive a Truck. Getting the training for truck license alone is pricey and alot still fail the driving exam. If they don't get the license within by the end of the probation period, they are let go.

Thanks for enlightening us. 🙏🏾

What menial jobs are Indians or even Afghans doing in the UK, given the relative UK high wages?

This is an advert posted 21 hours ago in Sheffield for an electrician. I am sure a fully trained certified doctor earns more than that

Alot of people are overselling trades. Trades offer a solid middle-class lifestyle and good job prospects as they are often in demand, but comparing their wages to that of doctors is funny to me.

No. You said MENIAL JOBS PAY MORE THAT WHITE-COLLAR JOBS.

Hello, a car painter should earn more than a full stack developer working for Google.

You said menial jobs, that includes a janitor. According to you, a janitor earns more than a professor.

Remi tilumbu was speaking to Nigerians living in nigeria and telling them about life in the UK. That is the same audience my post is written for.

Here in nigeria we call jobs like carpentry 'menial' so I just wanted to try my best to highlight that fact with this thread.

I hope you understand now?

Actually, if the relative higher value of Western currencies to those of Nations like Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia trumps everything, including pride and dignity, why aren't Somalis ,Ethiopians and Sudanese seen - as prominently as Nigerians are - in predominantly menial occupations abroad ?

And Nigerians in demeaning labour abroad are on average more qualified than Sudanese, Somali and Ethiopians. Moreover the population of Somalis and Ethiopians abroad is sizable.

(Lineman Journeyman vs Specialist doctor) In the USA.

no de talk Watin you know no

I’m on ground here and I know what’s up

A janitor earns more than a lawyer in UK and in US..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

did you see where I wrote a janitor there
I said some trade jobs here earn more than a some doctors and nurses in the US and UK

chopnaira:

Linesmen are not electrician. They are a trade on their own. Even with OT, they would make around 150k to 200k a year, but their body go tell since it's not easy working outside in the elements (cold and heat). It's a very physically demanding job. They often need a truckers license since they transport transformers and electric poles in trucks, and even their bucket trucks. Plus being strong enough to use pipe wrench to turn bolts and nuts when impact drivers do not work. The work is more mechanical than electrical.

Without overtime, they make just over 100k which is around that $50/hour.

A family doctor would make around 220-240k a year without OT. A specialist doctor like a surgeon would make around $250k to $400k or more without OT.

In the UK or US, doctors don't earn minimum wage. They earn a professional wage which is equal to their skillset.

if as a tradesman I even earn 30-35$ and hour is that not enough with out OT

I agree some professional doctors earn more

But trade jobs earn better than nurses and some doctors
Even some tech jobs no earn reach people who do trade

As of Mar 12, 2024, the average hourly pay for a Lineman in the United States is $34.51 an hour.

The lineman is not going to work 24 hours so stop calculate like a proper greedy Nigerian.

9jarockstv:


Will he work for 24 hours. Guy be reasonable. Yet the best an average Nigerian that stays abroad will come back with is 1 house and 2 cars.

Nah Benin I dey stay. I dey see them plenty. Best nah 1 house, 1 land and 2 cars them they get.

Uk that are very stingy every dime is important to them yet you come here to tell me a Care Giver earns more than a lawyer.

Story for the ignorant ones.

9jarockstv:

That is called skill acquisition. Olodo rabata.

Menial jobs need no skills. Just like working in the factory dey carry load or wash toilet. That's menial....job. do you understand now?

Yes. Just as the topic states. This is a thread created to show how mrs. Remi didn't wake up from the proper side of bed before making the statement she did in the thread below

https://www.nairaland.com/8037270/nigerians-abroad-jobs-refused-home

Did you know that A CHIMNEY SWEEPER earns more money than a MEDICAL DOCTOR in the United Kingdom?

Just imagine this, someone who enters your kitchen to wash your chimney, who will be looking black from head to toe as he works . . . Earning more than a medical doctor in any big public or private hospital

A furniture carpenter in the UK earns more than a bank manager IN THE SAME UK . . . You think its a lie? Ask questions

Did you know that an apprentice brick layer (Mason) gets paid £5 per each block he lays in his job? If he lays 100 blocks that is equal to £500 pounds. And he can do this numerous times a day.

Then all of a sudden, the wife of a drug baron who forfeited over $450,000 to a foreign government opened her mouth to abuse Nigerians who travel abroad to wash chimneys, work in building sites as masons or become a carpenter.

All of you people supporting APC are devil's and God will keep your payment very well to be given to you when the time is right.

Rubbish

the pay is commensurate with the risks involved. This is not a news
