30 Jobs That Pay Way Too Much And Don’t Make Sense To Many People

Influencers, this includes celebrity and actors. In this world only one thing is worse than elite rich scum, those who pretend to be.

Televangelists preachers. University sports coaches.

Being a celebrity (famous for being famous, not the people with some degree of talent).

CEO, no one is performing that job deserves hundreds of millions of dollars. Most of the time performance is due to the size of the company and actions taken by lower level leaders.

Life coaches

When my family moved cities when I was 5 our new neighbours had kids the same age as my sister and I so my dad wanted to meet them (he did not want his girls around weirdos). When he met the mother she asked what he does and vice versa. She told him she’s a life coach. His response was “what the hell is that?”. She stopped letting her kids play with us.

Hedge fund managers. Once the fund is up and running, they don't do much outside of hyper-expensive lunches and dinners, all paid by the fund. They make many millions, but the grunts are the ones that actually pull the sled...

The a******s that write self help books. Motivational speakers. Dhar Man.


Fight me.

Government funded coaches (in several states the highest paid public employee is a coach for a sports team).

Pharmaceutical reps.

Health Care “administrators” . They administer none of the health care and typically represent a parasitic growth within the hospital.

I’m surprised no one has said consultants. Especially management consultants. Here’s a PowerPoint saying you should fire 100 people and get more market share, now please give me $500,000.

I would say ceos but generally I even just upper management at all is making exponentially more than the actual laborers.

Edu-celebrities.

They are the people who spent two years in the classroom, couldn't handle it, then started some online blog/following with some appealing catchphrase. They get paid $3000+ per speaking gig that districts fork up and force teachers to listen to.

Pretty much every investment banker and other finance bro.

I work in digital marketing as an account manager. All I do is respond to emails and Skype people all day. I make over $100k a year just relaying stuff in emails and Skypes. We generate leads off co-registration sites like the c**p where you can win a gift card if you spin the wheel then answer a million questions and your data is sold 10 times. It's all b******t and I have no idea why it pays so much.

Lots of stuff in Banking. There is no way the wages and bonuses justify what they do. It’s just semi informed gambling.

Recruiters. My DevOps jobs pay around 200k - 250k a year, they get 10%-20% of that for making some calls and setting up meetings with hiring managers. Come to think about it, I am also overpaid for my job.

Royal expert. Because any money someone pays you for that job is already too much money.

Politician of any level.

Token white person at a Chinese company. When I used to live in China you could get a job at Chinese companies to make it look like they had foreign collaborations. You had to dress well and sit at a desk. Pretend to work only when tours went through. Otherwise game, study, whatever. A lot of sitting on a chair on a stage with a bunch of Chinese executives during awards/presentations.
