The Ten Most Overpaid Jobs In The U.S.
misbach writes "Here is what the 'compensation experts' have to say are the
ten most
overpaid jobs [original article at CBS MarketWatch]. 'Almost no one in America would admit to being
overpaid, but many of us take home bloated paychecks far beyond what's deserved.
'Fair compensation' is a relative term, yet human-resource consultants and
executive headhunters agree some jobs command excessive compensation that can't
be explained by labor supply-and-demand imbalances.'"
So much for alwayson-network
AlwaysOn Network Web Site Architect/Administrator
I mean, come on! are we all that afraid that WE'RE overpaid?
Is it too late to nominate human resource consultant to the list?

#7 - CEO
#8 - CEO
#9 - Guys at think tanks that produce articles like this

You gotta be fscking kidding. Did the HR consultants and executive headhunters point out that their own astronomical salaries can't be explained by anyone? Anyone that is, except for other HR consultants and executive headhunters...
Yes, my only tool is a hammer. And you're starting to look like a nail.
Does anyone else find it amusing that the site that got /.ed is alwayson-network.com and it is down?
As fast as an elk? Is that some kind of Canadian measure of velocity? Can you get a speeding ticket for going 2 elks in a school zone? What is the speed of light in elks?
Too bad the computer is what does the major work now on any modern jet-liner. You don't even need the pilot to land it anymore... Basically they are there as a backup to the computer system now.
And pretty soon, with a few more advances in AI, we'll also have computers with the attitude of "oh, fuck it" when the left engine fails.

It's a canadian unit of velocity AND mass. (So now that I think about it it's a unit of momentum). It's defined as the momentum of your average elk running at the average maximum elk speed. A football player with all his gear does about 0.2 elk.
Wedding photographer.
Surely the most overpaid job in the world is supermodel photographer.
I would gladly do the job for ten grand, so long as I can pay in instalments...
What is the speed of light in elks?
Zero. Elks are opaque.
I'm upset that us yanks are still using Imperial Elk instead of Metric.

One minor correction, Pilot error is not the most dangerous thing about flying, Gravity is!..
