Answer 1 :
A lot of work till then. Only 4 years of Uni, and 3 years of professional exams if you get a job that is. Between £30-£40k. Terribly boring job though. Enjoy!
Answer 2 :
It all depends on where you are and what sort of company, and if you're self employed your client base. The best money is in the central london / city companies, I know a guy in London at a big firm who earns about 150 K (after 10 years), he works about 60 hours a week though. I know a guy from uni who stayed up north and works at a much smaller company, he's on about 40 K but loves it up there. I also know a guy who works as a public sector accountant and earns about 40 K but with a 35 hour week. It's a huge industry.
Answer 3 :
Graduates will start on anything between 18-27k in london, rising dramatically following completion of professional exams.
