    Default What people are underpaid/overpaid?

    Title says it all. Who do you think are the people/jobs most overpaid or underpaid.

    Started thinking about this when I heard news of Gareth Bale earning 300,000 a week now in Real Madrid :rolleyes:
    Bonjour, la noirceur, mon vieil ami
    Je suis venu te reparler
    Car une vision piétinante doucement
    A laissé ses graines lorsque je dormais
    Et la vision
    Qui était plantée dans mon cerveau
    Demeure toujours
    Parmi le son du silence

    Public sector workers who are high up in the public sector (not nurses, street cleaners etc before anybody jumps down my throat). You only had to look in the jobs section of the Guardian newspaper a few years ago to see the BBC offering ridiculous jobs out for ridiculous sums of money, along with Councils offering 'Global Warming Officer' for 100k a year of taxpayer money.

    One of the first things if I got into office would be to have a big list of all jobs in the public sector management compiled and i'd go through the entire thing ticking off the majority of them which would be cut and no replacement found.

    As for the private sector, i'm not fussed - while I can't understand the fad over football, it's market forces determining it at the end of the day.

    He's paid exactly what his employer deems him worthy of, not over or under. Football is a private business paid for with private money (lots of which goes back into the economy through ridiculously high taxes) so there is no damage in it at all. By contrast, when people say CUT FOOTBALL WAYJ AND PAY IT TO A ARMY they aren't realising that the army isn't private and thus their wages come directly out of the country - if people want to raise £1.5m per captain per year in taxes to pay them the same as Bale gets then good luck getting the general public to fork out

    Omg agreeing Wirh the Bit about teachers. Ik head teachers are paid a fair bit but I think those lower down the hierarchy deserve a lot more Than the current average.

    Umm

    I agree with the footballers being paid too much but tbh.. if the club can afford it why not.

    Honestly I think bin men are underpaid lmfao cos they do such an awful job which pretty much everyone takes for granted

    A good idea for teachers would be for wages to remain on the same level but for added performance pay - meaning if the teacher improved the classes marks by x% on that year, they would recieve a certain bonus for the year.

    Binmen get paid quite a lot for a job which requires no skill.. They earn just above average wage I believe in the UK.

    But ofc I think all sportsmen get overpaid, being a teacher is actually a really fun job so them getting paid average wage is fine in my opinion as well, however I don't think nurses get paid enough, considering they do all the jobs in the hospital that the doctors don't want to do, they're our caretakers whilst in hospital and they should get paid more, also considering all the nurses I've encountered have been so friendly and helpful.
