    Footballers It's not exactly a job, panzies running around.

    Consultants, especially the medical TARDS, who tell you "you have ulcers, that will be 80 euro please" They told me that in the hospital you muppet.

    Pharmasists get paid too much? ROFL. Considering the 7+ years of crap they have to put up with to get into that position, why shouldn't they. They are very like consultants that you don't have to pay.

    It may not be 7 years exactly but it's a 4 year undergraduate degree followed by a one-year placement before sitting the licence exam for the pharmaceutical society of Ireland. For many it's also working our ass off in 5th and 6th yr too to get the points but technically it's 5 years

    I work for an American insurance company that outsources its software people in Ireland I have to say that the Managers and "team leads" - glorified gob shi*e managers which anybody can do and there is one for every 2 employee's, get paid a lot more than the people doing the work and all they do is sit on their holes and handle the holidays and timesheets... god forbid should they ever do a little bit of work... yet they get all the cudos and thanks for the work the employee's do!!!

    And management... well... they just talk crap all day long, go into meetings, all day long, sit on the phone all day long, have the odd pointless one-to-one with employees, promise them promotions and other stuff they never follow through with and still earn 60k to 80k easily...

    Argh...

    A retarded one armed deaf monkey could do their job...

    yes , but they have one very important weapon at thier disposal

    A VOTE , having that weapon at their disposal is what gives them their absolute job security , everything that happens in the civil service is political , everything

    Chemists/Pharmacists - I don't understand why they get paid so much. All they seem to do is read doctors' perscriptions and hand over drugs. A monkey could do this.

    Whoa whoa whoa, hold the friggin' phone.

    How well do you think you'd do if you had to do it?

    Doctor's quite regularly write prescriptions incorrectly, and it is the pharmacists who often catch these mistakes. Only yesterday in work, we received a prescription for a customer which didn't seem quite right; it didn't match up with any of her other medication that she gets regularly and the dosage was all wrong. We rang her GP who had just copied the prescription out word for word from a consultant's prescription in a hospital. Still unhappy with it, we rang the hospital, spent ages trying to get a hold of this consultant. Turns out the consultant had written the wrong drug completely, he was mortified and we had to change the prescription to the right drug for him. Neither the GP or the consultant copped the mistake until the pharmacist informed them.

    Don't you think that customer is glad that the pharmacist didn't just "read doctors' perscriptions and hand over drugs"?

    I don't think that customer minds the Pharmacists wages after an experience like that.

    ........not to mention the danger money involved when a pharmacist has to contact the gp to tell them that what they've prescribed will kill the patient stone dead if taken in combination. :eek:

    Teachers. In particular PE teachers. One of ours was morbidly obese, it is unbelieveable that she got paid god knows how much per year (seeing as she was in her 50s and in the job a while) to do no more than tell us to get changed and sit in her car on the colder days (I sh1t you not) smoking while we played football.

    HR staff

    People in the civil service take the piss

    I'm sorry but that post really is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

    you mean like signaling traffic at big events , stamping passport application or renewing gun licences , all work that clerical officers could do
    when the garda reserve programme was being touted , the guards opposed it every step of the way , why , because they knew it would mean less handy over time

    go into any garda station to have the likes of a passport application stamped and thier are several guards standing behind the counter shooting the breeze , besides like nurses , they are higher paid than thier counterparts in the rest of europe , you will travel far to find a guard who doesnt own a few properties beit in dublin or overseas

    community pharmacists get too much money for the job they do, not that i'm complaining. Vastly overtrained for the role we play in the irish health system.

    Thats just way too much of a sweeping statement. Most of us are on sh1t money, and work hard for it! Only the top brass really rake it in unless your there years- same as most jobs really.

    They could have sued for malpractise, the Pharmacist cost them a major cash payment!

    To people who say footballers, who's to say how much footballer should get payed, take Kaka for instance there is no one in the world who can do his job as good as him no matter how much training they have.

    So, because you stay in in college for ten years having a laugh and draining the economy for tuition and grants to get drunk on, you deserve loads of money, is that it?

    How about people who work 70 hour weeks in mercury mines, do they not deserve a fair deal?
