I’m noticing across the country vacancies going out of control and any wonder?
Rewarding but horrible jobs like care providers are minimum wage. And on the other hand a decent trade can make £500 a day.
That’s the market, but it’s not always fair.

Council executives -
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/p...-paid-23601289
Given that the Prime Ministers salary is about £160k I just can't see any justification in council leaders getting more.
Council CEOs are most probably from ordinary backgrounds whereas the salary for most PMs will be pocket change given their background.Quote:

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 !
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
A politician is a very over paid job. Basically you are getting a good amount of money to to be a thief, a liar, a cheat and totally untrustworthy
Is the persons background relevant to how much each is paid for the job they do?Quote:

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.
Can argue the toss on the comparable levels of pay but in my experience it’s better to think of the role more like a CEO in a relatively large organisation/business than that of a politician with a role in government. Although they work in political institutions and take political direction, it’s a different type of job that requires it’s own level of experience and skills which most politicians probably don’t have (which isn’t a slight, in a democracy, to me, a politician can be from any walk of life with anything from a broad spectrum of different types of experiences, skills, etc).Quote:

Carers always seem very underpaid, although I know a few, and they do seem to enjoy it. I guess it's a steady wage, they seem to get a sense of achievement from doing good and it can be fitted in around other things - they deserve more though.
Loads of consultants etc are overpaid. Jesus, I could tell some stories on that..
I don't mind footballer salaries for a similar reason. It's not really their fault - they don't sign the billion dollar TV contracts.Quote:

Obviously I'd like the game to be cheaper for us fans, before anyone questions this.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Nobody's mentioned the obscene wage top pro footballers get paid 😉
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. :wink::wink:Quote:
