No? Well I'd do it for 60K and I bet most others would too.

I certainly would. *But I wouldn't do it for 20K unless there was no
other even vaguely suitable employment available.

Many (most) people on the newsgroup have the skills to get a higher
paid job in an area of work, or the flexibility to not worry about
money vs enjoyment.

Given the skills required to drive a bus, for someone leaving school
at 16, £20k for sitting on your arse all day is a very good salary.
Likewise for anyone recently losing a job in the city and fancying a
change of pace.

For someone that's spent at least 5 years post-16, at a high cost, to
get a basic (yet useful) university education, £20k isn't that
enticing.
