Lowest Paid Professions - Scientists

[loseyourname]

Yahoo! had a report out a few years ago naming wedding photographers as the most overpaid professionals. Apparently some of them pull in $500,000 - $1 million a year putting in only a few weeks of work, doing something your little sister could probably do for $10 bucks after taking a community college photography course.

I guess people figure they're only going to get married once (even though they're wrong), so overpaying doesn't hurt as much.

Anyway, I'd say the most underpaid professionals are nonprofit executives. The Executive Director of the American Red Cross makes like $55,000 a year doing as much work as a typical Fortune 500 CEO, for an organization just as large.

For highly paying jobs, competition is intense thus I wouldn't call them overpaid.

No doubt! One my my recently married friends paid something like $5000 for her photos. WTF

"Lisa you are so smart, soooo impressed!"

"Lisa is very funny, I love hearing her jokes"

Are you quoting the right post? I said they were underpaid, not overpaid.

I generally agree, though I will say that my sister's wedding photographer was really, really good. The photos looked like they could have been put into an art exhibit. I have no idea how much she paid.

It does irritate me though that you don't your photos when you have a wedding photographer. Selling the prints is part of the profit scheme and they are so expensive they dissuade people from buying copies of the photos.
