1. Football
2. Politicians

That's all I can think of right now. I'm rather tired.

What do you think pays too much?

If you have to pay someone else to do your taxes, they are just too complicated and the whole system should be thrown out.

You are thinking too small. Athletes aren't the ones payed too much, the people paying them are, and as for politicians, it's the corporates and families bribing them (campaign "donations" superpacs etc).

I don't think politicians are paid too much myself. We trust them to run the country and frankly if you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

I think they actually should be paid more .. a lot more...BUT none of this second job rubbish ala George "I bring value" Osborne. That does wind me right up.

If I had to pick any job that is overpaid. Well I could mention any higher management in any large business you could care think of. I think it's disgusting that people are paid that much when areas such as Health, Research, infrastructure, Science and development are penny pinched to within a millimeter of life.

Football and also the bosses. It is a scandal, a shame, an insult for the society that some (not all) have exorbitant and indecent wages

Agree with you re: politicians. Pay them plenty, don't let them have external interests. Will also need to work out some sort of post-political deal as don't want them going straight to work for people who they can benefit while in office. It's a tricky area, and it'll never happen. :mad:

According the the UK government: Teachers, health workers, carers and anyone hoping for the living wage.

As too the higher paid professionals; I would say that some are probably worth every penny they earn and that is the point. Some really earn their salaries and most have studied for years to achieve the skills and knowledge they require to do their chosen jobs. However: These truly dedicated professionals are rare as most will just milk it for everything they can get.

Needs a little qualification - At my team's (http://wingatefinchley.com/) level the players get a Pittance. And none of us at the club can remember what colour the Chairman's wallet is! Last time he opened it was to buy a raffle ticket... ;-) We're talking non-league football of course... not to be confused with the pixelated prima donna's as seen on TV!

Well, that just means you need to get better lawyers. if you have idiots working with/for you, of course you'll think they're overpaid.

dont' think I've ever heard of the profession being characterized as "following the obvious regulations..." You must either work with SEC lawyers or real estate lawyers.

Jobs I think pay to much... Well that would be any job that pays more than mine!

Won't be a problem soon though, only 3 weeks until I retire! I always wanted to retire before I hit 50 and I'm pleased to say through hard work (honest!) I can now achieve my goal. :)
