Disagree with athletes.

Sure pro athlete can make a lot. But the league is not going broke payimg them.

The revenue a Steph Curry generates is massive.

Furthermore, the number of people who can perform at that elite level is tiny.
To add, it's mostly stars make the obscene amount of money.

The average of NFL salaries is $860,000.

to go one further…. The countless hours of practise and house league games it takes to get to that level is something nobody ever considers. The money spent by hockey parents is crazy.

I am going to step out on a limb here and say......nurses. some.... Not emergency room nurses or operating theatre nurses. More the kind who work in private facilities. Old folks homes etc. 8 hours a day dog fucking. Along with a lot of office workers. 8 hours a day dog fucking.
You don’t what your are talking about on this one…. Retirement homes were chronically understaffed.

Hockey costs the most to play and pays the least out of all the 4 major sports.

The guy who grinds fresh pepper in a fancy restaurant. You tell him that you'll say when to stop. He turns the nob three times, and stops. You tell him again that you'll tell him when to stop. He turns the knob three more times, then stands there with a stupid grin on his face.
This actually made me laugh as I used to work as a server =)

Without a shred of doubt....

Real Estate Agents.

They are the worst. They figure you should pay 5 or 6 percent of the selling price for something that essentially sells itself. They have 0 education and 0 skills other than knowing the neighbourhood.

I like to relate it to architects and or engineers. If the average guy were building a house and went to an architect or engineer to DESIGN you your house and the architect told the client 6 percent, the client would walk away saying, "what are you nuts?". But a real estate agent, 5 percent, "yeah sure, where do I sign". And yet the architect or engineer spent 5 years or more in university, another 5 years learning and probably another 5 years honing his or her skills. The real estate agent took a couple of night classes.

The problem is that Canadians have been bamboozled to believe you have to have a real estate agent. All well and good, but those fees need to be about 1.5 percent total for both agents not 5 to 6. Especially given what real estate has done in the last 10 years.
Oh c'mon man!

It's just urban legend that these titans of a mouse click here and mouse click there don't earn 15K for those 2 mouse clickings.

To break this shakedown industry's back we need Provincial legislation to shatter their monopoly of selling prices for homes.

Once we have equal access to that data, their black hand shakedown of the Ronnie and Rebecca's of Sunnybrook Farms evaporates in an instant.

Firefighters and police. Sit around all day and only have to rush into dangerous situations very irregularly and not as often as people think.

Lawyers. Who needs them?

Some Doctors. Over billing is typical in some specialties.

You can negotiate with agents.

Stockbrokers. Traders.

BTW: I believe the founder of a company is entitled to whatever he/she earns. He/she took the risks and put in the hard work of building a company.

Taboo to agree, but I hear you on this one...

In my life, I can honestly say that I've had such bad experiences with nurses in general. Due to injury I spent a lot of time in the hospital... Abandonment is a better description for the care I received. The orderlies looked out for me and the doctor saved me. I was so petrified to shit, that I'd wait for my parents. Letting me overflow my piss jug so that I wrecked my bed and then yelling at me. Never answering my call. Stealing my snacks that people brought to make up for the hospital food... Did it get better over time? No...

As a father I watched one of my children receive such poor care... I can't shake the anger. I thought my wife was going to murder them for their borderline buffoonery. Shocking.

I get rankled when people insist they get called heroes.

I dont think nursres are overpaid. The median salary for a person with a univeristy educstiin is 85k. Nurses max out at 93k and average 68k. To earn max they likely need to have quite a bit of exprrience.

Im sorry to the person who had 2 bad experiences with nurses.

I suggest anyone who thinks they are overpaid should go work in an alzheimers ward.

Also i think people may not realize there are different types of nurses. For example, there used to be rpns which are college educated nurses. They are paid less than their univerosty countetparts.

Nurse or any one out there.
After High school I volunteered at the hospital. I seen some people work hard and others not. I did notice they like to bury themselves in paperwork to avoid walking. Walking is the hard work, attending patients.
Like in life, this applies to "ALL people not just nurses", whether you have University or College nursing, if you are pretty you may be pushed into the soft area of work and if ugly into the hard wing of the hospital. No matter where a Nurse ends up, ICU, Emergency, Children, Insurances; old folks with mental issues or house visit, you will always find 4 types of people or workers. Not my job doing minimal routine;, I work accountable;, I am here for the money I pretend to do the work if I get caught oh well;, Don't want to do I am here for the money and will act like ass. I seen Nurses that cared but they were held back.

In the end life is 30% fate, 50% chances and 20% of your choices.
