Do you think this is a fair salary?
I have been working for my company since October 2009. From October 2009 - June 2009 i was doing an apprenticeship with the company in business admin. I think my job title is Marketing Administrator and i do a lot of work that is your normal receptionist/admin type work. I do A LOT of website content uploads, i also do graphic design work, creating banners and creating email campaigns, so quite a bit of design work as well as normal admin tasks such as inputting statistic and web research etc. I didn't earn much while i was doing my course but not my course is complete i now earn about £10,000 a year. Considering the amount of work i do design and admin i just want to know if people think this is a fair salary. I am not being greedy for money or anything i just want to know if i am getting the most out of what i do or if i should move on, because i know there are admin jobs where you can earn about £12-15,000 a year. Any ideas? Thanks.
Also is it low just because i am just starting out or should i get more than that?

It does sound low for the job you describe. If you can find a better paid job - move. Be sure to have a definite post before you resign as jobs are becoming hard to find.

The most revealing thing in your question is that you don't actually know what your own job title is! Probably time to ask for a chat with your line manager, HR department or whoever to discuss career progress now you've completed your course. It all sounds a bit vague and probably both sides would benefit from some certainty.

If you are under 21, it is probably what they can get away with. You are at least acquiring marketable skills.
If you are older, unless you are working less than a full week, you are being underpaid based on the legal requirements of the National Minimum Wage, let alone market value.
See the links below, and do the maths.

I did the same internship (in a different country though).
They wanted to pay me about the same and I found a new job while I was still there that was double what I was getting previous.
Type up your resume and put your feelers out there for prospective jobs.
It really is too low in whatever currency you change it to.
Other thing is to ask for more money, they probably think your happy to be on that wage....

First impressions are that you're being ripped off, IF you've been given a career progression plan by your employer than that's one thing else I'd start looking for another job.
