Anyone in the front end of a car dealership. It's a huge game of knowing the right person. From the general manager to sales to finance managers, most often they have no post-secondary education and just knew the right person or worked their way up from car salesman. Meanwhile, you have the auto techs in the back who all have had to be certified by a trade school, and they work their asses off for way less money.

College football coaches. They should not be the highest paid public employee in any state

CEOs of charities.

Influencers!

This might be a hot take but my cousin works in coding and tech and one time told me his job is "100% overpaid." What he does really isn't difficult coding it's just in high demand, but he told me that what he does for the time and energy is probably overpaid.

Politician of any level.

Cable news anchors. A few million dollars per year just to read a teleprompter.

From personal experience, many people in the oil industry. I don't understand why we keep giving the industry $20 billion/year in subsidies when it is already so bloated with overpaid old men. Oh yeah, because the oil industry uses their taxpayer-funded bloat to openly, legally buy members of Congress to keep the gravy flowing from the government into private pockets. The kicker is that so many people in the oil industry are blissfully unaware that their salaries are supported by government handouts.

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 Skype. We generate leads off co-registration sites like the crap 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 bullshit and I have no idea why it pays so much.

One night I babysat three kids for about 2 hours or so. The kids went to bed when I got there, and the parents had left dinner out for me, so all I did was eat their food and watch their TV, and pet their dogs. When they got home the mom paid me $100. I told her that was way too much. She slurred "Don't worry about it, I'm drunk." And then I noticed her fly was down. So that was the most overpaid job ever, lol.

My mom once got a job as a civilian contractor working for the federal government. She was an accountant, and they put her in the department that managed a certain kind of ICBM... that had just been slated for destruction as part of one of the big arms-reduction treaties in the mid-80s. She had a computer at her desk but didn't have login info to use it, so she spent her days doing crosswords. Whatever that job paid, it was definitely overpaid.

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.

When my family moved cities when I was 5 our new neighbor’s had kids the same age as my sister and me, 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.

My last job in college, before starting my career. I was an overnight shelter staff for transitional housing. Since these clients were basically back up on their feet by the time they arrived, they were pretty self-sufficient. I was paid about 25% higher than other night-shift jobs I could get at the time, and on most nights all I had to do was make one pot of coffee. The rest of the time I could watch TV, play video games, do personal chores, etc… The one job that I know was better was their overnight sleeper, since we had to have two staff at all times. As implied, this dude made a well-above minimum wage rate to just sleep there on the weekends.

Pharmaceutical reps

I had a job in college as the secretary of the secretary of the English department. I worked a few days a week and my only responsibilities were: dropping off outgoing mail in the lobby and distributing the new mail into the faculty mail boxes (took maybe 10 minutes) answer the phone and direct calls (I got maybe 5 phone calls the whole time I was there) make copies for professors when they asked (only one every asked) This was 8 years ago and I was paid I believe around $11 an hour to essentially sit on my phone and do my homework. I’m not saying the pay was great, but I definitely wasn’t doing anything to earn it.

The *ssholes that write self-help books. Motivational speakers. Dhar Mann. Fight me.

College administrators. Specifically high-level ones!

I'm an IT Storage Engineer and I'm WAY overpaid. I make mid 6 figures and not because it's hard or heavily specialized but because there aren't many workplaces that need us and when you do, there's very few of us around. It isn't advertised often and there are always more positions out there than there are people. An example in my country is that the available storage related jobs can fit on 2-3 hands BUT the number of people qualified to do the job can be counted on one hand and I've worked with all of theml

Rehab/treatment center owners. A lot of them are scumbags, especially in Florida.

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.

Buzzfeed writers. We’ll find out just how lazy they really are when the “Top 10 jobs that are 100% overpaid” list comes out in a week. This answer will be number 7.

Realtors Me: I need to pay off a bond for 20-30 years with blood sweat and tears. realtor: ‘sells’ house in a couple of weeks by sending a couple of emails, gives a tour of the house. “yeah, like I’m gonna need like 5-10% commission of that 30 years

Mother. F*cking. Contractors. $200-$400/hr and I still have to check all your fucking work and herd the group of you like a bunch of goddamn cats? And cater your f*cking lunch? And nothing is going to be on time for my fucking client because your documentation is all ass backward? In other news, I'm in the middle of a very stressful construction project at work.

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