What people are underpaid/overpaid?

[FlyingJesus]

btw you're both wrong, already explained that the wage not matching the skill level required is because of the dangers involved not because it's demeaning

I dont actually believe someone is this dumb.

I said the 'number 1' part, then you say
'Binmen get paid quite a lot for a job which requires no skill.. They earn just above average wage I believe in the UK.'

To which I replied to, yeah it requires no skill and would you really want to do that job no. WHICH MEANS IM AGREEING WITH YOU THAT THAT IS THE REASON THEY GET PAYED MORE

are you really this thick.

But then I go ahead and say I would take the job if it was under circumstances? .................................................. .................................................. .....

Plan B in every argument: insult the person you are arguing with. Yes.

Also footballers get payed no where near other sportsmen (Tiger Woods being a billionare) and film stars, so cut them some slack.

Teachers are probably underpaid, especially good ones who have been in the job a long time. They offer so much to the community and it would be a shame to deter potentially great teachers from teaching due to the returns.

Yeah I've learnt that now didn't think she needed to insult me though..

Wow I had no idea Tiger Woods was so rich. When the teachers who have taught me say why they've become teachers they say it's because they want to give something back to the community, which I think is great that there are people like that, and some teachers can have really tough times with certain students and if they're only going to be earning 20k a year? Teaching is fairly specialised as well so I don't think it's at all fair to them.

I totally agree. There's a great video somewhere about where a guy asks a teacher "how much he makes".

Here it is:

Very inspiring.

some ppl may disagree but i feel like those in army (idk what specifically) and the oil industry are stupidly overpaid, up here at least. our casinos are full of offshore workers and young army boys gambling all their money away and spending it on,coke. my dad is only a STEWARD off shore (cleaning rooms basically) but gets paid more than my mum who works most days/overtime etc whilst he works 2 weeks at a time n 2 weeks off. he gets a ridiculous amount of money considering what maids etc get paid lol

£12,500/year I think is a private in the UK, I think they get underpaid, and on the point of binman before that they get paid so much because of the risks... I don't think it adds up when soldiers are involved. And that's in the UK, in the US it's even worse, but that is also partly because of the immense training they are put through, I've heard the chefs are put through more training than an average US soldier. But then again the chefs also go out on patrols.

footballers, actors and singers are all overpaid. Everyone else in underpaid.

Lets also remember the fact that it is only a minority of these groups that actually get overpaid.
