I remember reading about trainee salaries a few years ago and being flabbergasted that they were so low from a US perspective.
I don’t remember the exact numbers but I remember thinking that most legal secretaries in the US make more than patent trainees in the UK.

To everyone horrified - the common justification is trainees don't need two degrees and UK patent attorney targets are usually 750 hours for trainees and 900 for senior associates.
... Yeah it's not great :/
Oh my goodness….
