That case was nuts. Another good reason to never go to a chiropractor.

You mean in terms of being overpaid?

Yeah, I think that consultants are grossly overpaid. Like they're not just getting paid to say whatever the bigwigs in the corporation tell them to say.

Real estate agents are 100% commission. 1,000,000 in sales at 6% split 50/50 between listing and buyers agent and split 60/40 with the broker equates to $18000.

They have to hustle to make $100k.


still overpaid

EMT


I know Acadian pays their people dog shite. And I know they have been unable to have an EMT at all the high school football games, but its because people are not going to work there because they don't pay their people well. And as much as they charge they should be able to pay them a fair rate.

That’s interesting. I’ve read the payroll for other academic institutions and usually the pediatric heart surgeons are making seven figures. But it is about the longest training bath and all of medicine. I mean, I think they deserve seven figures. Just saying, I think that they usually make that.

AI should absolutely replace real estate agents. It would accurately reflect the cost of a house more and improve the housing market overall.

Real estate baws. You guys are just padded costs and the machine would be a great $20-$100 option instead of your take home percentage.

If any career should learn to weld/code/plumbing, it’s these bozos

Real estate agents are like Onlyfans camgirls - the top 10% are making stupid bank but the other 90% are begging for spare change.

Cops, firefighters, teachers, military, and teachers are at the top of the underpaid list.

Overpaid? Athletes!

Maritime pilots. Way overrpaid.

In fact locally many of the captains have way more experience in these waters than the pilots.

Overpaid - River boat pilots.
They don’t even steer the ship, they just get on the ship and help direct the pilot of the ship which direction to go.
Oh look, there’s a curve in the Mississippi River, make sure you don’t run into the levee. How hard can that be?

That just depends on the location. In California they do really well.

I think the military is fine where it’s at, they get immediate benefits except the VA. That’s its own travesty that absolutely deserves more money if not a complete overhaul. All the money going to immigration from fed and state govs should go to them. I doubt anyone would disagree with that. Our vets, homeless or not, deserve better from the clowns in Washington DC.

All the money cleared up by DOGE should go to those folks first, imo.

Cops, firefighters and teachers sadly don’t get their career payoff until it’s over. They all get a pension and if they want more money now it has to come out of that. Without the ratio change they will bankrupt themselves just by paying them more now. This is an unpopular opinion with most of these roles but they chose a career with the payoff at the end of it. Can’t have both.
