And even that average paints a strange picture (it's distorted by high earners).

Median household income is £29.9K (and some households have two or more earners).

Full time minimum wage is ~£15K a year.

I look over the pond and see what people with my level of experience are earning and think "damn, I'm under paid" then I look at at the median household income and think damn I'm way over paid.

I agree. If someone tells me they're on £36k, I think they're on a decent salary in the UK.
