Does anyone feel like they are way overpaid? (salaries, ethics, poll)

[seren77]

Everyday I read posts of outrage with teachers' salaries, cops' salaries. Today, it was garbage collectors in Seattle.

Here is a question for all of you? Do you feel you are overpaid for what you are contributing to the society?

We probably are a little overpaid but hey thats what makes this country so great. More money=higher quality of life. No society is ever built for free.

movie stars admit the are way overpaid. but then look at the amount of money they bring into their studios. I think many a CEO are over paid. nurses, teachers, the people doing cheap dirty labor no one else wants to do, underpaid

not according to threads here on these boards.

nevertheless, the poll question is: are you overpaid?

I work 40 hours a week and make under 10 dollars and hour. I think I am overpaid...yeah right.

I make a good living, but i'm not overpaid. I feel that i've earned my keep through education, service to country, and strong ethics.

Therefore, I resent unions because they artificially prop up an entire segment of employees with unreasonable demands, promote workplace inefficiencies, and generally negate whatever notion of personal responsibility that exists in the workforce.

I doubt that most think they're overpaid. If you're severely underpaid in your opinion, take your skills and work ethic and move on.
