That’s how much she earns as a veterinarian. “Employment contract is rare in my profession”

– I work on average four days a week for five hours and two Saturdays a month – admits a veterinarian who has been working in the profession for seven years. Internet users and Internet users cannot believe when they see some salaries of women in Poland: “embarrassingly low”, “I always have the impression that this is some kind of joke”.

Women’s earnings are a topic that evokes a lot of emotions. This is perfectly visible in one of the posts that recently appeared on the Instagram profile @finansekobiet. It presents nine women working in different professions and gives their salaries. The attention of Internet users and Internet users was particularly drawn to the salary of a veterinarian.

She revealed how much she earns as a veterinarian. “Sad”

– Do these salaries match these occupations? (…) The series is based on your messages and information about how much you earn and what your work looks like. Earnings are often a taboo subject, it’s time to change that! Photos and names have been changed – wrote Izabela Lewandowska, doctor of economics, who runs the @finansekobiet profile.

Among the women presented were eyelash and nail stylist from Toruń, earning PLN 4,500-7,500 net, head of cabin crew in airlines, whose salary is between PLN 7,500 and PLN 10,000 net, a porcelain factory employee, whose salary is PLN 3,200 net, and a veterinarian who has her own business , works 80 hours a month and earns PLN 3,000 net.

Experience is seven years in the profession. Position – doctor in the first contact office. I work on average four days a week for about five hours and two Saturdays a month, self-employed. Hard studies, five and a half years, and then numerous courses for a lot of money and, in fact, education all the time, updating knowledge. Work is on average about 80 hours a month. An employment contract is a rarity in my profession. I like my job, I like healing because I like medicine.

Internet users and Internet users did not leave it without comment:

And I always feel like it’s some kind of joke.

Sad earnings of a veterinarian, as a doctor after such studies she should have more.

The salary of a veterinarian is definitely too low in my opinion in relation to the responsibility and requirements that are associated with this profession.

I would like to draw attention to the fact that in most cases it is not the profession itself that determines the earnings. We can be a veterinarian who works in a clinic on a 1/2 or 3/4 time and earn little. We can be a veterinarian who runs his own office and earn a lot. Of course, I believe that the pay should be decent for everyone, especially for people in such necessary and important professions that require education. But it’s certainly not worth approaching life with the assumption “this is what I have and I can’t do anything about it.”

Somehow I don’t want to believe that a veterinarian earns so little.

Embarrassingly low wages for a veterinarian.

great series. It increases the awareness of people for different professions

– they write under the post. According to the website data from January 2020, the median earnings of veterinarians and female veterinarians is currently PLN 4,220 gross. Every second veterinarian earns between PLN 3,390 and PLN 5,340 gross. At the same time, 25 percent of veterinarians earn less than PLN 3,390 and 25 percent earn more than PLN 5,340 gross.

Women still earn less than men

Although on the surface it may seem that the gender pay gap in the labor market is similar, the data show that there is still much to be done in this regard. The wage gap in Poland was 4.8 percent. In October 2020, the average gross hourly earnings of men was 8.9 percent higher than the average gross hourly earnings of women. According to the Bankier.pl portal, he wants to take care of equal pay, among others. The European Union, which plans to introduce legislation allowing women to enforce equal pay.
