Thank you for your comments.

The wages I referred to were averages:

Those at the pinnacle of their careers could earn considerably more. Comparing like with like would also involve some measure of qualifications. Also note that those earning LU salaries can commence at a far earlier age which of course makes the income far more valuable in real terms: basic statistics.
