Pharmacists are not earning £100k+ I would know that as I am one and have mates that are pharmacists.

GP is possible with locum rates

You’d have to be absolutely top drawer in some of those positions to be earning £100k.

Granted you can but the average in those roles won’t be in my opinion .
Not at the bottom of the scale I’d say, but not right at the top either. Some GPs are on over £150k, but yes, it’s high-ish for a head teacher.

I've got friends that are not in a generic high street pharmacy, they can prescribe, they're in specialist roles and aren't earning much more than £50k

For oil rig worker, you absolutely do not have to be top drawer for 100k, plenty of the onshore operators are making more than that too.

A vast array of different things... but the vast majority don't drive supercars or even anything out of the ordinary.

If you think super cars will be expensive to own and run, think about who affords to own and run boats/yachts/super yachts.

That’s a fuel bill...

I looked into hiring a sun seeker for a week. Nothing big (for a yacht), four big cabins, dining room, sun deck, the thing you see in Poole Barbour, not Monaco.

£25k for a week, £18k to fill with fuel, which likely got you two days cruising. 10% tip, minimum, for the crew. Plus transfers, food, drink, docking fees.

To take my parents, two siblings, for a week on a posh but small-ish boat that could see a few towns in the Med was at least £60,000.

We went to Seahouses instead.

Sales / sales management in my case, but over the last 10 years it’s paid twice that on average.
Nice, selling what? IT software seems a popular one for people 100k - 500k+!

We’ve just returned from the Marbella Club hotel, i wanted to upgrade One of the nights to a beach front villa for my wifes birthday surprise dinner on balcony etc

£15k for one night smile

We had a lovely meal bought to us on our super deluxe room balcony hehe

Weirdly though, we viewed a villa to rent just behind (£15m) which overlooked the Marbella club which was £10k mth which i thought was quite reasonable considering it was fekin incredible, times are hard for sales and rentals there apparently.
