Actually, as coincidence would have it, I recently had another one of 
those questionnaires from my university. They ask you all kinds of 
stuff. (I don't think I'll be putting anything in the "success stories" 
section. :-P ) One of the things they ask is how much you're earning.

It still amuses me that 6 months after graduating, I got this 
questionnaire, and there's a box for "more than £300,000/year". Let's 
think about this. How many graduates earn that kind of cash less than a 
year after graduating? :-P (Obviously it's simply a standard form that 
they send to everybody...)

The other interesting thing is that although there's about half a dozen 
boxes, there's only one single box for "less than £25,000/year". That's 
all one option; they don't even bother to split it out further - despite 
the fact that this is presumably the option that the majority of people 
will pick. (People who are temping while they look for the first "real" 
job, etc.)

I can't remember what the other categories are off the top of my head.

Then again, I suppose it depends on what they want the data *for*...
