The average hourly rate around here (East Yorkshire) is around £23 to £25. If you could get an average of £24/hour you would have to work 2083 hours per year to earn 50k. If you work a 9 hour day, five days a week, you'd have to work 46 weeks of the year.
You could always work more hours a week, and do late night stores, Saturday mornings etc.
Remember that the difference on your earnings from 40k to 50k are only £6000 as you pay 40% tax on earnings over 40k.
The extra difference in pay of 6k (£115/week) is not worth it (in my opinion) for the extra hours, disruption to your life etc. Having said that, if you are young and fit, and need to pay off student debts, then it would be ok for a while I suppose.
PS I hope my calculations are correct - you may want to check them!
