      I think this can only be answered in comparison to other people. eg I am well paid to some of my friends in other jobs, but I also have friends who earn a lot more than me. So kind of middling I guess – but definitely the better side of middling.

      Moderate for the amount of work/unsociable hours and qualifications required. But overall in the general population I am well paid.

      The PhD “salary” it is not very high, but I can’t complain because I am basically getting paid for learning things! But I do not think anyone would do a PhD for the money… I have friends with the same qualifications as me earning over 35k a year….
