So the problem we have is that we are willing to work for less money to secure one of the very few jobs out there, either to justify the money we've spent already to get our licence, or because flying helicopters is all you've wanted to do since childhood.
I think the general feeling most get from employers is that by giving you the job they are doing you a huge favour, and should pay you less because you enjoy your job. They seem to forget how much cash and determination it took to get to where you are.
The only way it will change is if everyone agrees not to work for silly ammounts of money. But how likely is that?
In what other industry would you spend £50 - 60,000 of your own cash, possibly re-mortgage your house, to get your qualifications for a dissproportionate salary at the end of it? Is there any way it can change, or are we all just mugs???
