Answer 1 :
I don't think they get an hourly rate in general, but an annual salary. It's different for each discipline of each profession and also depends on where you are working.
Answer 2 :
That would depend on the profession and the level at which you are at! You will be making a bloody long list there! Plus, most work within salary brackets rather than an hourly rate as they don't tend to clock in and out like manual workers.
Answer 3 :
GPs in Scotland earn anywhere between £30 to £75 an hour, depending on practice and hours worked. Some earn a bit more. According to the latest survey by the RIBA, architects with 6 years post-qualification experience on average earn £18 an hour. Measely. Think about it; 18 quid after 7 years training and 6 years professional experience. But this is assuming an average 8 hour day. Architects hardly ever work less than 10 hour days so it's reality even worse. Also, this depends on location. London offers the best pay, and Scotland in general the worst. Edinburgh's the worst of both worlds with Scotland level pay at one of the most expensive cities to live in in the UK.

Answer 5 :
It's not quite what you're after, but a RAF aircraft engineer earns varying ammounts, but after 3 years, you're on about 21 grand a year, and after about 5, you're on 22 1/2 grand a year, as a professional Aircraft Technician. You get paid by the day, I'm currently on about £60 odd a day, but that is 365 days a year, regardless of what you're doing.
Answer 6 :

Answer 7 :
Daily rate for consultants is £300 to £1000+. Of course it depends on experience level, the role and the job time-frame.
Answer 8 :
I'm a qualified accountant and I charge between £15 and £20 an hour for book-keeping work and £45 upwards an hour for consultancy work.
Answer 9 :
As most have already mentioned, professionals get an annual salary instead of hourly rate. However, if you assume 50 work weeks and 40 hr/week then here are some values: Management Consultant (6 yrs experienced): $45/hour Engineer (6 yrs experience): $40/hour Software Developer (6 yrs exp): $40/hour This is based on a salaried full time employee with tons of other benefits like life insurance/ health / accident Or dismemberment insurance/ vision / 401k etc. IF you are a professional that's doing contract jobs where you just get pure hourly rate and no benefits then these numbers would be much higher: Consulting could be $80 to $250 depending on how good you are and rare your skills are. Same for engineers or software developers who are just doing contract work theirs would be much higher than full time employees. Around $60 to $80 an hour. *all are in USD
Answer 10 :
I run a communications company and we pay our freelance designers and writers £15 an hour. Pharmacists get at least £25 an hour (my sister in law used to locum as a pharma). Lawyers get anything up to £250 per hour.
Answer 11 :
It differs from one profession to the other, then also differs from one country to the other, and lastly also differs from one industry to another. In South Africa for example on of the highest paid professions is a Chartered Accountant. I pay the CA that does the books of the body corporate (co-op) where I stay ZAR 350 per hour. A CA dealing with some banking issues can charge up to ZAR 3500, and CA's dealing with international transactions will charge international rates.
