Answer 1 :
it depends on the type and clients but they all about the same in general
Answer 2 :
Yes, This may seem a bit odd, but. The Army do not get much money/ wage as they are funded by the government, and with the problem with our economy at the moment, the government is hard of cash. Hope this helps.
Answer 3 :
Officer Cadet (on appointment) £14,348.88 Second Lieutenant/ Graduate Officer Cadet (on appointment) £22,679.76 Lieutenant (on appointment) £27,260.04 (rising to)£30,131.40 Captain (on appointment) £34,934.52 (rising to) £41,544.84 Major (on appointment) £44,004.96 (rising to) £52,701.72 Lieutenant Colonel (on appointment) £61,760.76 (rising to)£68,272.92 Colonel (on appointment) £71,521.56 (rising to) £79,048.68 Brigadier (on appointment) £85,787.52 (rising to) £89,443.56
Answer 4 :
Yes, an accountant would get much more than most lawyers. All companies must have a accountants to know if they are making a profit or losing money. Not everyone needs a solicitor. A few are making really good money, most are starving. The military pays enough for them to pay the bills and enjoy a few recreational activities.
Answer 5 :
It depends if they are any good or not. Some lawyers and accountants earn hundreds of thousands a year, some earn less than £20 000 a year. It depends.
Answer 6 :
Lawyers are among the top-most earners in the UK - I saw the bank statement of a lawyer while cleaning up his chambers a couple of years ago - he had a take home income of £39,000 per month. He was working then as a company lawyer. Doctors can make from £500 per day and on up, depending on their skills - a doctor from Oz told me last year that he got that just for coming to UK and taking up the slack during the holiday period - and no, it was not Barry Humphries taking the piss.
