Someone Asks “What Job Is 100% Overpaid?” And 30 People Don’t Hold Back With Their Answers

This! This needs to be first!!! A bunch of entitled people, that always complain about how "hard work" it is being an influencer, but never ACTUALLY worked a day in their lives and expect everyone to treat them like royalty!!! I hate influencers with a fierce passion!!!!

And said Jesus unto them: "Thou shallt build megachurches and relieve mine believers of their money. Also, thou shallt have seizures in front of the audience and speak in tongues, which is actually just gibberish."

Most execs have "golden parachutes"... written agreement to major salary even if they quit or are fired. I had a job with CEO turnover roughly every 2 years. Every one of those execs had a guaranteed 10yr salary. Screwed up for 2 years and got paid for 10!!

Tisn't capitalism just swell? 🤗

Hey BP, is it that hard to find a picture of the congressional chambers?

College sports in the USA are absolutely wild to me. The highest paid 'educator' at most colleges is probably not the Dean - it's the football coach. They get huge crowds though, so the coach arguably generates the most income too.

Not to mention all that insider trader 'income'

I take issue with the funeral industry part of this. No one needs to get married, but everyone will die. And most people don't want to deal with bodies themselves. Therefore, we have funeral homes and burial societies. It's also important to ensure that diseases don't spread. Very important work that not everyone could do.

Pro athletes are pay based on the revenue they generate for the club, so In a way they paid accordingly to it, we should be paid the same way

I initially read that as "120% overpaid" and was about to fire off a rude response when a second glance corrected me. Then again, is 1200% high enough?

College football coaches are often the most well paid people in an entire state. We have our priorities wrong and it shows. The only time I would ever enjoy watching a college football game is if I had a child, friend, or family member playing. Otherwise, I couldn't care less.

I still know what that word is. Putting stars on it didn't protect anybody from any kind of harm from knowing what the word is. Stop being asinine.

How about the Denver Nuggets mascot, Rocky? He makes 625,000 a year!

During a recession, years ago, the teachers were being told there was no money in the district to raise pay. We got like a 2% raise over a three year contract. Meanwhile, the administrators got like a 14% pay raise. Totally absurd!

Try to buy or sell a property without a realtor and you will quickly find out just how much you don't know.

When you have a union, it's amazing how responsive HR can become.

Most actors don't earn millions.

They serve their purpose. I once worked for a telecommunications company subsidiary that had to lay off people and slim down. And as none of the CEO, CFO, CTO and board of directors wanted to be blamed, they hired consultants. Because then they were able to say: "Look, not what we want, but the experts have a clear professional opinion. so we are doing that." I know, because I worked closely for the CEO. And yeah, I know what that expert opinion did cost us. Redicilous.

What do superintendents do? They mostly have unforgettable luncheons that involve steamed hams and sudden indoor manifestations of aurora borealis.

The British royal family is invaluable in its role of discouraging monarchy in other countries.

That really depends on the situation and workplace. Huge law firm with prestigious clients? Yeah, there's money to be made there. Small town lawyer in a one man office? Not so much

I switched from being a consultant to being an employee basically doing the same thing because I couldn't justify for myself that someone should pay +$1000/day for my services. And being asked to drag a project so the company could keep invoicing.

so you had a bad agent and then blamed her for wanting to get paid. meh. We have a wonderful agent and are happy to give her the commission that she earned repeatedly through multiple home sales and purchases.

BP censor.

Not a job. Need to stick to the prompt.

Lol

Hey, someone has to do it. ;) It's actually WAY more complicated than that, but I like to joke that my job mostly consists of writing and sending email.

duplicate post... c'mon again.

I am currently a hospital administrator. Its fairly paid and a lot of work since we are short staffed all the time. Maybe this is a problem in America where the whole healthcare system is the problem?

This list could be a lot shorter, if the duplicates were weeded out.

I had a manager who worked so far away that she was in a different time zone. She was bright enough and sane enough to deal with it without trouble. She eventually left management, essentially saying "I prefer to work for a living."

Being an accessory to crime customarily has its rewards.

This, I’ve seen them around and I can never quite understand what they actually do

Yeah, you can always farm out the work to some really inexpensive code mill in India, where they'll cut-and-paste chunks of code from work that they pirated from all over the world. Then you can hire some software engineers to go over all of your cheap code from India, and thjey try to hammer it into something that actually works. OR, more likely, have to chuck it all out because it's NEVER going to work, and start from scratch.

I had this exact job. It isnt well paid and it's a lot of work. I got 50p above minimum wage.

Oh I remember that episode. He was using cheese wiz. He cursed out Gordon Ramsay

LOL, is that a special category?

Bollocks. I am a landlord with two properties I rent out and last year I made a loss, same as the year before that. In most countries being a landlord is not a good way of making money, controlled rents along with rapidly increasing service charges mean that unless you are a commercial landlord or have a large portfolio you will not be making much money at all. I have 2x 2 bedroom properties that I rent for £850 pcm each but management company fees, buildings insurance, insurance for fittings and fixtures and other expenses such as uninsured repairs and maintenance eat up most of that. There are some years that I will make a modest profit but I will certainly never, ever become wealthy from being a landlord. Not all countries are like the USA where almost zero regulation means that landlords can charge what they like whilst spending almost nothing on the upkeep of their properties.
