- johnday 5y agoJobs at the BBC are often seen as having more value than pure pay, because of two related factors: (1) The BBC is a British institution and supporting it is seen as a worthwhile act. The same effect is what keeps teachers' and nurses' pay artificially low; (2) Jobs at the BBC have historically been seen as "for life", because of the entity's perceived stability. I'll be interested to see what happens to both of those factors over the next decade.
- gigabates 5y agoThis is in a large part because of the fact that salaries are paid with "license payers' money" and the scrutiny that comes with this.
