Overpaid

Does anyone feel like you reach a point in your career where you have seen most of everything, the job is easy, and you feel totally overpaid? I don't feel like I do very much work anymore, and I get paid too much for what I do. It makes me feel uneasy tbh. Or maybe my job is too easy and I am overpaid. Deep thoughts by Jack Handy

You being overpaid is the person that’s paying you problem. Not yours.

Any a-hole can hit something with a hammer. Knowing where to hit it is what makes money.
People pay for knowledge whether they recognize that or not.

Every minute you work is a minute stolen from your life that you could use to do something more rewarding. There's no such thing as overpaid.

As plumbers on facebook say, "If it takes me 10 minutes to fix a pipe, you're not paying me for 10 minutes, you're paying me for 25 years of experience"

I'd slap your face right now.

People who complain about the economy being bad are people that have no skills or discipline. If you hang around long enough in any productive career, you will eventually be highly skilled and feel overpaid. This is what everyone should be working towards. The money is out there to be made, people just hop around dead end jobs and act like the universe is against them. No buddy, even working at mcdonalds for 10 years will put you in a nice position if you have half a brain.

I have felt overpaid since I moved from the frier to the front counter but I’m not complaining

I am of the opinion that given my employer is paying me they must be smarter than me and are in a far better position to judge how much my services are worth to them than I am....if we disagree and I think it is worth more I will find someone who will pay what its worth and frick my current employer. Businesses ain't in the business of losing money on employees, not for very long anyway.
My job is keeping me from retiring however....its pretty much on auto-pilot and the money is embarassing good...I want to retire but I am greedy and can't give up the pay for the amount of work required....
