It was a graduate scheme. They don't pay all that much. If she was working a graduate scheme in London it would have been higher but even then you just don't earn that much in those regardless of where you went to school. She has a BA in History and an MSc in a Social Science it isn't like she was some hot commodity in terms of skills. She had literally ZERO finance or accountancy skills when she went into her graduate scheme which is kind of expected but is also why it pays so little.
There are plenty of BA gradates from Oxbridge working in graduate schemes in finance for around £30K right this very second. I promise you that. |
