I am 33 years old, married with a six-year-old son and about to embark on a career as a nursery nurse. I currently work as an administrator in a firm of accountants, where I earn more than 10 an hour. But my new job as a nursery assistant will pay me only 4.65 an hour. My husband and I are having to make huge sacrifices in order for me to embark on this much-wanted career. Why should such an important job be paid so little?
