WORD CHOICE: gain, earn, get
Do not use gain to mean 'get money for work you do'. Use earn : people earning less than ¡ê10,000 per year | How much does he earn?
Gain means to get something useful or necessary, whether or not you deserve it : I have gained a lot of useful experience. | Her problems seem to have gained her more support from the public.
Use earn rather than gain to say that you get something because you deserve it : Through hard work you will earn the respect of your colleagues.
Get can be used as a less formal way of saying gain or earn : I get $20 an hour. | He has started to get a reputation for being awkward.
