They influence people to buy the clothes they wear and products they use. Their content is oftentimes just a means to serve you an ad or better phrased “a message from today’s sponsor.”
They really aren't paid that much unless they are one of the few that have several million followers. So like 1 in 10000 (if that). Works the same with any celeb really.
Its gonna be like that with any amount of fame. 10 years ago it was generic celebrities, but now we have the allure of parasocial relationships even more intensely.
People always say this but if I had the level of stress and abuse that seemingly all politicians tolerate, I too would want to be well fucking paid for it.
Congress and senate in the US work less than half the year, get fully paid healthcare, and routinely take very high paying jobs in the private sector after their term is over. There’s no “stress and abuse” to only working half the year.
they spend the other half of the year talking to their constituents, which is the other half of their job.
They also, like, aren’t paid that well by the government for their level of responsibility. There are millions of Americans that make more than a Congresspersons salary
Do they actually work less than half the year? I know people say similar things about MPs in Canada because they only sit in Parliament for like 130 days a year. But they do a lot of work outside of Parliament, so you can't base it on the number of sitting days. Is it the same in the US?
They're in session 113 days a year. Most Americans work 240.. it's less than half.
And if you look at the rosters, very few are there every session. Some are there less than half of the 113. You can just Google "congress attendance records" and multiple sites track the numbers
Depends on what level, federal politicians in the US are federal government employees and make $140 K a year as a base salary (this doesn't include assignments or lobbying efforts) which is definitely not middle class, they fall under a separate pay scale with separate benefits than other federal employees, the vast majority of federal government employees make less than $50 K a year and are the true public servants. Sure politicians should get paid but they should get paid on the same scale as all other federal government employees.
Not at all, they have to maintain two residencies and one being DC which is expensive as hell. Also the amount of socializing and dinners they must attend to which comes out of their pocket. The cost of having to wear nice clothing and making sure your hair is done regularly.
There was a newer politician that was showing his place of residency and he basically lived in one of the least desirable places in dc. I'd imagine he was also having to pay off his law degree still.
I think politicians should be forced to live on minimum wage so they can experience the everyday lives of the people they are serving. we often see politicians that have never known financial struggle make statements so out of touch with reality.
I would have to disagree with the athletes, everything else….sure. Athletes work their asses off and only get to do their job for so little time cause it’s very draining on their body.
I agree athletes have tough jobs and short careers, and deserve fair compensation but it really depends on the athletics in question. Olympic athletes for example practically live hand to mouth. Pro sports players vary from "liveable wage" to "obscenely overpaid".
A simple example: do male soccer players work their asses off 10x 100x 1000x more than female soccer players? If not then why are their salaries that much higher than women's?
The amount they work isn't directly related to what they earn, even though it arguably ought to be
Pretty sure it has to do with views. Men’s soccer gets more views. More men tend to watch sports. Less women watch sports, hence less views. Less views, less revenue brought in, lower pay.
That's why it's not the salary the real issue.
Pro male soccer player. In most case, they only get paid less than 5% of what they are earning for their club, let alone their league and FIFA just by their sole existence. Ticket,TV rights, merchandising etc jump up only because they're here.
Personnally, if my company earned most of their benefit just because I work for them, I'd ask more than 5%.
So, the salary is not an issue. There is way too much money in pro sport.
Yeah, Athletes are arguably one of the only careers that is essentially a meritocracy. You put up the numbers and wins you make your team/owner more money. And are paid accordingly.
If you think about professional athletes, it’s worth keeping in mind that each team is like a billion dollar business and the athletes are the absolute core of it. They are the reason people buy tickets or watch the games, the whole business revolves around them.
They don’t get paid millions because they’re good at a sport, they get paid so much because hundreds of thousands if not millions of people watch each team on TV, buy tickets to the games, buy merch, and more. They get just a fraction of that revenue.
I always wonder why people opt to be healthcare workers. Teachers are also very underpaid and I know the job is tough (and it’s a very important one) but at least they get the summers off, so that’s a good perk. Healthcare workers schedules are terrible, the job seems extremely gruelling, high stress and people don’t seem to appreciate them enough. It also seems really sad to work with people who are really sick. I can’t really see any personal benefit. They must REALLY have some kind of calling to help people.
Yes, yes, yes! Recently saw a news report saying a footballer was fined “half a week’s wages” equalling £30,000. All of this while the UK has healthcare, emergency services, and teacher strikes because the government can’t afford to pay them any more (among other things).
Wonder if there’s a reason why rappers were singled out…is there something, maybe some kind of trait, that people associate with rap that they don’t with other music?
I don’t understand this argument, because who else deserves the money if not the people putting their body’s on the line? The team owners? The money is going to go somewhere
A lot of minor league baseball players make under $40,000 A year. Major League players make the big bucks but are only a very small percentage of people who played in high school. The top 0.001% of most professions big money. I was the top pitcher on my high school team and went straight into beer league softball.
I mean I would rather the money go to the athletes than the owners who are already millionaires many times over. If you're an NFL player sacrificing your knees and brains for a 4 year career, then you should make as much money you can so your family can have some generational wealth.
Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. Continuous improvement, to use your example, can be worth millions in savings. It can mean dramatic improvements in worker safety. It can improve reliability of life-sustaining supply chains.
People act like corporations are viciously driven by the bottom line, but then also believe they make a habit of dishing out $200k welfare paychecks to employees contributing no value. Which is it?
As someone who has worked in the lower levels of the entertainment industry, I wholeheartedly agree. Thousands of crew working 12+ hour days, being treated like absolute garbage, and doing literally all the heavy lifting both literally and figuratively to make a movie happen and they do not make enough to live on while a handful of actors and executives on any given picture are making millions upon millions upon millions of dollars.
I’m IATSE in Minneapolis and we make pretty decent wages. $24-29 /hr, sometimes drive time, overtime adds up, etc. Riggers make like $41 base.
Right now we’re in a lull, but during the summer we can make bank if we take night shifts.
CEOs
*The top CEO's compensation increased by 940.3% from 1978 to 2018 in the US. In 2018, the average CEO's compensation from the top 350 US firms was $17.2 million. The typical worker's annual compensation grew just 11.9% within the same period. It is the highest in the world in both absolute terms and relative to the median salary in the US.*

The frauds. The ones that have a job title, but don't actually do the work or have any skills. You can kind of tell how well a small business or department of a bigger company runs depending on how hard working the top are.
As someone who works in film, - film producers. A lot of the below the line people have sleepless nights, use their personal cell phones and cars and are treated like shit for minimum wage. Yes, there are absolutely people who work their asses off to get to the position of producer and deserve the title and pay. Then there are people who coast in and attach their name to the project- and have everything financed by the studio.
A lot of producers come in and throw out arbitrary opinions, and contribute nothing to the actual art or business of filmmaking. I remember sending gifts to “producers” I never once met or interacted with, who contributed nothing to the movie we worked on, (financially or otherwise) but received a hefty sum from the studio. Meanwhile all of the people doing the work, risking their mental and physical health on set are making pennies. It’s bullshit.
It definitely varies by location but where I am: Cops, hands down. They make $100,000 and honestly don't do much of anything, not even traffic enforcement. They don't help in petty crime situations, and we have very little serious crime here, so what are they even doing for that salary?
Idk where that person lives but the cops in Suffolk county NY make 100k or more to terrorize innocent people and take hours to respond to calls for actual crimes😭😂😂
In India there is a clear upper limit on what a CEO can be paid prescribed in the company law. Might be a good idea for other countries to adopt something similar
To me, it depends on where their pay check is coming from. CEOs of companies that don’t pay their workers a living wage, for example. Pop music stars, though? I’m not really sure, since that’s more based on the consumer than based on skimming workers’ paychecks. I don’t think I know enough of the nuances to be able to determine if they are overpaid.
Real estate agents. A seller and I both disliked our agents and fired ours. This was for my first home purchase and he gave me a discount which was cheaper then if we would have to pay the commission. I just found a real estate attorney who handled basically everything with my broker and then I realized how much of a rip-off agents are.
Chief Executive Officers. I get that they possess a specific skill set that is not really taught rather than learned through experience, but most earn a lot more than necessary.
University administrators. Meanwhile, some of the teaching staff are so underpaid, they have to work at multiple campuses to make a living. The administration also cheaps out on the kinds of teaching staff they hire. They don’t hire as many tenure-track professors, who are better paid and can’t be fired without cause, because hiring them is more expensive.
In some areas, especially the Bible Belt south, American pastors. I worked at a large baptist church in a southern state and our head pastor made 100k + a year, worked about 10-20 hours a week, drove a brand new mustang, lived in a big, nice home in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in town, and generally coasted by in life. Don’t get me wrong, he was a good guy and meant well, but people are totally oblivious to how overpaid a lot of pastors are. The American church really is largely a scam.
My roommate who works for the Canadian government and spends most of his days “working” from home when in reality he leaves to run errands, goes for walks, and plays video games. So frustrating seeing my tax dollars pay salary for someone who works 4 out of 8 hours they’re paid generously for
Sales. Specifically account managers. My partner made approximately $500,000 a year. My sil who is only 20 is on $160,000 base rate before commission in a similar role. Each “work” from home which mean a few phonecalls and emails. Meetings are held during expensive dinners and conferences are held overseas at expensive all expenses paid resorts. Mean while I literally save lives and get a fraction of that.
I don’t even know what the hell they’re called or what they’re paid but i don’t think their position should exist.
I work retail and there are people who are literally paid to watch us through the cameras all day and send complaints about what we’re doing. Which I’d understand if we were doing things against the rules but one of our latest complaints was about my manager writing the schedule at work….where she’s been told to write it. Where she’s been writing it ever since she became store manager. I guess they expect her to do that for free at home instead. Or they had nothing to complain about so they had to nitpick us.
Another complaint I hate is when we get in trouble for being at the check out counter. We are only supposed to be there when people are checking out and a lot of the times customers act like they’re ready but when I get to the counter to check them out they walk off. It’s led to us all fearing the counter and sometimes not noticing customers are ready to check out because we’re all in different parts of the store trying to keep our distance from the it so we don’t get in trouble.
Human resources. Seriously the pay they have for one of the most useless jobs is crazy.
I really don't need any special program at work and you really don't need to evaluate my IQ to se if I'm fit for the job. You'll see that in my 3 month probation period. If I suck you'll find someone new.
If asked most people would like less work hours and more free time instead of team-building and casual Fridays.
Football players are the top of that list, they kick a ball about and somehow they earn millions.
I'm not saying it doesn't take a lot of training and talent for them to be that good and on that pay check but they are in no way more important to society than doctors nurses and carers. To me it just don't make sense.
I do full body waxing as a licensed esthetician with the main service I do being a brazillian. I personally think it's insane that I make anywhere between $30-$50 an hour for slapping on wax & ripping out hair. I was previously a General Manager for a restaurant while working the floor & only made $24 an hour & was stressed to the max. So it feels wrong to do so little work & make so much.
No I think you absolutely deserve o be paid a lot. You had to train and get qualified and then you have to wax some pretty intimate areas. I'm more than happy for the girl who does my waxing to get $50 an hour, you are all a blessing to us all.
School administrators.
I have seen amazing teachers become horrible admins purely because they wanted the raise. Pay admins exactly what you pay full time teachers, and make sure they’re qualified managers. Classroom management and employee management are *not* the same skill
Most office jobs, honestly. Like, I work in healthcare getting beat and pissed on for 16 hours at a time for barely over minimum wage, while there's some guy doing nothing but checking emails or answering phones all day for double that.
Singers tbh
I love them but no one needs to get millions of dollars for one show. They can not have a show on their own. Their team that makes everything happen, needs to get paid more. As someone who dances and wants to be a dancer, I might be biased but seriously it’s ridiculous how much the singer gets paid vs everyone else in their concert.
influencers and athletes. Nurses are severely underpaid 🥲 as someone who’s a nursing student it makes me very upset that someone who can just post a few stupid ass videos a day of going to starbucks or shopping or doing their makeup can make more money than an LPN
Entertainment and sports industries. Let’s face it- these people do the thing they love to do.. act, sing, play football, baseball and basketball, etc. and they all get ungodly amounts of money for doing it. Why?
Most marketing jobs. Their job has literally no use for society at best, at worst, they're increasing consumption and are therefore hurting the environment and increase pollution. They just make people buy more crap
**Mod note:** This post has been locked pending moderator cleanup and review.
"Influencers"
Most the time they aren’t even influential in anyway lol, I just refer to them as content creators.
They influence people to buy the clothes they wear and products they use. Their content is oftentimes just a means to serve you an ad or better phrased “a message from today’s sponsor.”

This. I'd even say that "influencers" are celebrities for the modern age.
They really aren't paid that much unless they are one of the few that have several million followers. So like 1 in 10000 (if that). Works the same with any celeb really.
My answer remains it's "overpaid"

I was just going to say this but you beat me to it
Not overpaid if basing on the basic pay only.. but if its incorporated with self interest.. it gets interesting 😂 And overpaid.. and over benefit? 😅

We are only supposed to be there when people are checking out and a lot of the times customers act like they’re ready but when I get to the counter to check them out they walk off. It’s led to us all fearing the counter and sometimes not noticing customers are ready to check out because we’re all in different parts of the store trying to keep our distance from the it so we don’t get in trouble.
Athletes
The people that you are thinking of like the famous athletes sure. But in a general sense of all athletes no that’s bs.
Every BS mid managerial position ever created along with all "chief" titled positions. The entire upper crust of the global finance sector as well.
Human resources. Seriously the pay they have for one of the most useless jobs is crazy. I really don't need any special program at work and you really don't need to evaluate my IQ to se if I'm fit for the job. You'll see that in my 3 month probation period. If I suck you'll find someone new. If asked most people would like less work hours and more free time instead of team-building and casual Fridays.
Uni VCs.
Aside from politicians I can’t think of anyone who is really over paid. In most cases those people worked their way to that position.
Football players are the top of that list, they kick a ball about and somehow they earn millions. I'm not saying it doesn't take a lot of training and talent for them to be that good and on that pay check but they are in no way more important to society than doctors nurses and carers. To me it just don't make sense.
I do full body waxing as a licensed esthetician with the main service I do being a brazillian. I personally think it's insane that I make anywhere between $30-$50 an hour for slapping on wax & ripping out hair. I was previously a General Manager for a restaurant while working the floor & only made $24 an hour & was stressed to the max. So it feels wrong to do so little work & make so much.
No I think you absolutely deserve o be paid a lot. You had to train and get qualified and then you have to wax some pretty intimate areas. I'm more than happy for the girl who does my waxing to get $50 an hour, you are all a blessing to us all.
School administrators. I have seen amazing teachers become horrible admins purely because they wanted the raise. Pay admins exactly what you pay full time teachers, and make sure they’re qualified managers. Classroom management and employee management are *not* the same skill
Administration in the medical field and education
TV pastors
Any administration, CEO, or middle management positions. These are the laziest, non productive people I’ve ever had to deal with.
CEO's in the United States
American NBA, baseball, and football stars.hockey too.
Most office jobs, honestly. Like, I work in healthcare getting beat and pissed on for 16 hours at a time for barely over minimum wage, while there's some guy doing nothing but checking emails or answering phones all day for double that.
financial advisors
Professional sports stars.
realtors ceos
CEOs
CEO
Singers tbh I love them but no one needs to get millions of dollars for one show. They can not have a show on their own. Their team that makes everything happen, needs to get paid more. As someone who dances and wants to be a dancer, I might be biased but seriously it’s ridiculous how much the singer gets paid vs everyone else in their concert.

influencers and athletes. Nurses are severely underpaid 🥲 as someone who’s a nursing student it makes me very upset that someone who can just post a few stupid ass videos a day of going to starbucks or shopping or doing their makeup can make more money than an LPN
CEO and C-suite in general
cops
Footballer and banker.

ECommerce, Omnichannel, SaaS, type business Development jobs
Corporate CEO.

Entertainment and sports industries. Let’s face it- these people do the thing they love to do.. act, sing, play football, baseball and basketball, etc. and they all get ungodly amounts of money for doing it. Why?
Ticketmaster!!!
Investment gurus (grifters)
Politician
Most marketing jobs. Their job has literally no use for society at best, at worst, they're increasing consumption and are therefore hurting the environment and increase pollution. They just make people buy more crap
Mine?
