people are willing to pay athletes for being the absolute best in their field so how is that undeserved
and they aren't doing it by exploiting the weak

To be fair, they get paid a metric fuck ton, but they also can only work for about 20 years and then have to live the rest of their lives completely worn out and frequently unable to do anything else.

It's actually pretty similar to oil rig workers.

I mean, if you make $100 million dollars for your company/investors, you should get a pretty good check.

In general jobs/careers, construction project managers.

They do not estimate the job or submit a price for tenure, they do not decide which sub's to carry. They do not complete any of the work priced.

They create a schedule on a spreadsheet
They check in regularly to see if things are going smoothly.

They very often have zero actual experience doing anything in the field and do not understand the work being done.

They regularly get paid 85g+ per year to know absolutely nothing relevant and question people who do know.

Also on that line of thought, safety officers. Horrendously overpaid.

when you guys say finance are you talking about accountants/corporate finance types? cause they aren't actually paid that well

or are you talking about investment bankers? they're paid pretty well but they also work 16 hour days and have no lives

traders? traders are paid based on their p&l, if they earn a lot of money hard to say they don't deserve part of it

uh, cause they're marketable and can generate a lot of revenue?

you're paid based on either how specialized and in-demand your skills are, or how much you can make for others

Mostly things in the public sector

Any pay check in the private sector - bankers, athletes, etc - inherently means someone else thought they were worth that much $$$ and consented to pay it

Govt employees are paid by taxes and as such their salaries are not implicitly consented to by their consumers

That ain't true. At least in most systems. In NZ (in private) the surgeon will usually get about 50-200% more for the case.

That's like saying singers are overpaid even though their albums sell like hotcakes.

If you're a good business person you deserve your money.

Athletes are not overpaid. Its actually one of the few professions where they are completely paid based on the demand of their ability. If you are the best in the world at something you deserve to be paid because there is literally no equivalent to replace you. Lebron James adds ability to whatever team he is playing on that cannot be replaced.

IMO some lobbyists, lawyers, and corporate CEOs are completely overpaid for what they do. They can easily be replaced or removed and there would be very little changed.

People who are saying athletes, they make millions because the league makes BILLIONS. Should that money go to guys in suits or the players people are paying to see that directly decide a teams success and value?

have you ever read the legal documentation for a big merger? you couldn't pay me enough to READ that shit ever never mind draft the docs working 20 hour days under tight deadlines from asshole investors

lawyers doing that stuff are expensive but they definitely earn it

How much do toll booth operators get payed?


45k barely doing anything at all

Toll-Booth Attendant
Toll-booth attendants are reported to earn an average annual salary of $45,000 per year. This salary exceeds the national average, which is notable considering that this job is relatively low-skilled and requires no post-secondary education. It is also reported that the highest paid toll-booth operator salary in Maine in 2009 was $76,219, which is an impressive 85% more than the national average annual salary.

And it seems like nearly all of those jobs should be gone anyway now that booths can be replaced by those things that take a picture of your plate. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those expensive jobs were only still hanging around because the government doesn't want to fire them. Could it be that they are unionized?
