Overpaid/Underpaid Jobs

Re: Overpaid/Underpaid Jobs

Not all of you will agree with this, but IMO doctors are massively overpaid. GP earns 100k, Consultant 150k AND they can earn the same in private practice. Two jobs, double pay, same premises.

I'd agree with you about GP'S, although I don't think they are massively overpaid. when it comes to good surgeons though i totally understand the megabucks. The levels of natural talent needed, combined with the skills, training and constant learning required. I can't really think of many jobs that could possibly be tougher

I have a relative who's a surgeon. She was previously in the forces and worked at Camp Bastion amongst other places. I can't imagine the sights she saw, the injuries she dealt with and the life-changing decisions she had to make. Whatever she was paid, it probably wasn't enough.
She's now back working in the NHS and doesn't do any private work.

Some of the stuff they did at Bastion was beyond belief. Read some papers on new techniques and procedures they devised out there, really fantastic work they did.

Building trade as in plasterers , decorators , chippies etc working for others

On their own ? Better money but still nothing compared to doctors , architects , lawyers etc who want a job they can't do ....eg plastering , tiling , wood .....done for feck all !

Those days are gone Sludge. £250 per day, minimum. If they don't like it, then it's goodbye. That's the market, innit

Re: Overpaid/Underpaid Jobs

I've got some software engineers on £650 a day at the moment and they're sure not busting a gut for that money.

there's a real shortage at the moment so they can basically take the piss

Our software team is based in Munich and the charge rate is €720 a day, it’s being moved to Gdańsk where it’s €270 per date. Madness.

The traffic enforcement officers .....used to be traffic wardens ?

Total wasters , you go up to them and say there is a car parked in a disabled bay and they say I am busy on this side of the street ......logging down the reg numbers of cars to ensure they only stay for one hour . Complete waste of time that lot

are you punching down a bit there ?

Re: Overpaid/Underpaid Jobs

Also re: doctors. The salary they get reflects the time and money they’ve spent getting to that position, also you never actually stop learning and training

Who are trumped by top F1 drivers, top basketball players, top baseballers, top boxers, top golfers, top tennis players. Always seems to be top footballers who get it in the neck.
