I remember the Guardian table. I work for a law firm now, and having heard more than one solicitor describing librarians as "leeches" (being called a bloodsucker by a lawyer does smart a little), I was rather chuffed to see lawyers come in at 89th. Just above MPs and estate agents I believe.

Pay varies widely across different sectors - I think CILIP publishes rates by sector. Someone in a previous message was complaining about 16k a year, but I think a lot of NHS and school librarians would consider that riches beyond compare, certainly where I used to work in the North East.

Subtle point, but the comparison was not actual salaries, rather the relative "worthiness" of the professions in the public perception (which I can't help but agree with having worked in a library supporting student and practicing nurses). Interesting to see that the D and E rates cover the £15-20K bracket. Does anyone know off the cuff what the "average trained librarian" salary is for the UK?
