Britain’s big squeeze: middle-class and minimum-wage 

For young high-flyers with an interest in marine conservation, it is the perfect gig. A charity is hunting for eager graduates (with at least a high upper-second degree and excellent A-level results, naturally) to work full time as a guardian of the ocean. At £25,300 ($32,110), the annual pay is typical for a graduate role. Come April next year, it will also be near the minimum wage.
