I have to agree, Bankers should not be paid more than nurses, footballers are again welll overpaid for what they ( Im not saying that they dont poses skills, athletic and is a job / hobby for many ) but they def get paid way too much for what they do! Just my opinion. Not to cause any problems.

its all relative isnt it, if nurses got paid more then it would take away from the care of the nhs

sure they do a more meaning full job but when you work in a industry and in a job that because of the work you do generates a high level of income based on your success then yeah you should be paid accordingly, and the people who are the most successfull at doing it know they are and ask to be paid fairly.

its nothing to do with who is saving lives etc, but say a footballer if he is making his team make alot of money on and off the pitch then why wouldnt they want their fair % of the takings.

might not be fair in some peoples eyes, but if you generate income theres always the chance you break off and make that money for yourself or someone else.

when your a nurse your only options are to get specialist qualifications to improove your ability to make your employer money and maybe move into a commmerical line of nursing where its private and this money is what its about.

unfortunatley your always going to get paid less to provide a service than you are if you generating money by what you do no matter if its banking football or anything else!

i know if i was working for a massive comapny and responsibile for bringing in billions of pounds of turn over, i'd probs want a few million myself or you feel like your getting ripped off and someone else will always see the money your making and not be afraid to offer you more.

hard lines but its how the world works and the mindset you need to make the most of your working years when you got something you can sell!

so if you were a premier league footballer or a top level banker you would be happy to get less than a nurse?

its obv something you can say as not working in that industry in them roles (i dont by the way) but if you make serious cash you want paying serious cash too, its only fair

Hmmm, so in the same context , do you think the nurse's who helped get Wayne Rooney back to fittness after an injury should get a % of his future earnings ?

or the Banker that as to have 3 months off work , because he's ill,and is nursed back to full health , should those nurse's also get a % of hisd /hers future income ...just a thought

it's a choice! People choose to become nurses or bankers or footballers!

I chose a poor paying industry to work in as I liked it, doesn't mean to say I couldn't have been a nurse or a banker or anything else in between.

If nurses want paid more, I suggest they choose to change career or to be promoted within their existing one.

Football is a multi Billion pound industry, like any other industry/service/leisure business it is blatantly obvious that those players that reach the pinnacle of their career should be rewarded for doing so.

No different than those that reach the top in any other industry or financial institution.

I take it the OP does realise there are a lot of footballers who ear the same or less than some nurses.... not all footballers are Wayne Rooney.

Do you really think the world would be a better place if the people making multi billion pound decisions which impact on millions of lives, jobs and our economy had a £30k salary?

Since Britain's manufacturing went down the pan, the finance sector brings in the most money for Great Britain PLC. Without ghe bankers doing what they do, there would be no money to pay the nurses teachers firemen police etc. none of those roles directly create wealth. All those bankers' bonuses are taxed at 50% so we get some of it back anyway

The bottom line is this.....Banks and Banking are a necessary evil, we can't operate in a civilised society without a banking system.

Anyone who truly believes that the Banking sector could possibly operate without senior managers and executives is living in cloud cuckoo land.

They are paid to make multi Billion pound decisions, and receive salaries that reflect this

Bankers ,i can think of another word, They fail invest(gamble)whatever you call it ,very badly .get payd huge bonus for failing,and walk away with a big smile ,and certian people still cant see past them .My wife is a nurse if she made a paitent worse or killed them because of a wrong decion, she would no longer be a nurse , no golden handshake penchion or smile on her face,it seems we are rewarding them for failing, and as for footballers dont even start me on that one ,my working life on oil rigs and construction was short lived ,i never eard millions, a good living yes ,but after that i still have to go out and earn a living

"fcuk the bankers.

What about the nurses that underachieve?....the nurses that are lazy?....the nurses that are negligent?

Because just like any other service, business or industry there are nurses amongst the ranks that are simply not as good or as caring as their colleagues.

Should they therefore earn less than their peers who operate at the top of their profession?

There are rubbish bankers....there are rubbish nurses.

The nurses had the option of studying for a different profession like all of us, they chose the road they wanted to follow knowing they were not in a profession that operated a bonus scheme....the bankers followed a profession that they knew may well involve a bonus scheme.....

"Nurses have to do a 4 year degree to qualiky what about footballers?"

Their careers start at the age of Nine or Ten....for which they receive little or no recompense until they turn professional. They then enter a career that sees only a tiny proportion of them achieve a full time position.

Then they are in a position where the vast majority who do eventually make the grade earn little more or even less than the average nurse.

The ones that do reach the pinnacle of their career are paid in accordance with the vast amounts of money that their profession generates.

Their profession also generates many other jobs that are related to it.

Some might say that starting a career at the age of Nine or Ten, in an industry that sees the vast majority fall by the wayside for not being good enough, is every bit as important and every bit as much of an achievement as those that attain a degree.

Bankers should not get paid more than nurses, emergency services.

As for footballers, movie actors and the like, yes they are overpaid for what they do, but looking at it another way its the clubs or movie studios that are responsible if they were not willing to pay silly salaries then they would have no option but to work for what is a more realistic salary. However, clubs and studios are buying a package and into a brand, look at how much sponsorship footballers bring in to clubs and without that a lot of the clubs would go to the wall. In these tough times its clear to see that clubs have been damaged by the overspending to try and get better results. Likewise movie studios want big actors to attract people to go see their films, granted doesn't always work but thats their idea. Finally everybody that goes to anything whether it be a movie, football or gigs etc are all at fault, if nobody was willing to pay the sometimes over inflated prices for tickets costs would have to come down.

All general summations and if anybody does not agree I'm not bothered about being criticised for my opinion

LOL you cant be serious , they rip off all your pension money , they re gamblers , nothing more nothing less , we can all bet with other peeps money , you have been on a different planet if you think they have made the right decisions over the last 10yrs .. but hey .. just my opinion ..

An opinion based on what? And what bankers, nurses or whoever do in their private life should have little relevance.

on Facts ..the bankers are getting Bonus payments , for no growth , infact a down would spiral of growth ...

So what has gambling got to do with it? And their bonuses are paid on what is in their contract! You really don't have a clue how it works do you.

Lol, i'm not the one who does'nt have a clue ..lol. i look around , i know what the bankers gambling with our money as done to the world and it's future , do you realise that ,kidas not even born yet are going to have to pay taxes to get us out of the mess the bankers havwe caused , why do you think the gov are trying to ring fence ,the bankers from gambling our money , it's the only way they make money , BUT HEY , someone else as rto lose money for it to work ..or do you think it grows on trees.

Banks all over have lost money from what is called toxic dept so get it right. They lent money to greedy people who essentially ere not able to repay what they borrowed.

LOL, you just answered your own folly , The Bankers lent it , without checking , or a back hander for turning a blind eye more like , your the one who doe'snt have a clue , because i don't believe you can be so trusting ,lol,

Wow you really believe checks weren't done? So if checks were done on every individual or business there would be no default on payment ever? Wake up get in the real world i really don't believe anyone can be so naive!

Ha HA , enjoy your pension , lol, you might just wake up then ... "

Footballers are paid as much as they are because the public pay it! The money earned from sales of tickets, merchnadise and sponsors is what pay their wages. That's why footballers for larger clubs get paid an awful lot more. My local team have been known to go without wages due to the lack of tickets sold. Where would you suggest all the money raised for the top football teams go? Just into the managers pocket? Sarah xx

"it's a choice! People choose to become nurses or bankers or footballers!

I chose a poor paying industry to work in as I liked it, doesn't mean to say I couldn't have been a nurse or a banker or anything else in between.

If nurses want paid more, I suggest they choose to change career or to be promoted within their existing one.

"

Why should we change our career when have worked and studied so hard to get it in the first place ! Its all very well saying try to get promoted but this means even more training at a cost to ourselves , and even when that extra qualification is gained it doesnt necessarily mean a promotion as there are so many others after the same post . You have no idea the amount of qualified nurses there are out of work because there are no posts available

"Nurses have to do a 4 year degree to qualiky what about footballers?"

probs twice as long if not more in training and earning a professional contract from being a kid - as well as dedicating the early part of their lives and future on something which for 99% of them is doomed to end in failure and lead to nothing apart from them starting again or going to work in a dead end job when they dont become a proper professional and live the dream!

its not like someone kicks a ball about then next minute they are spotted and are playing for man utd, every footballer has gone through just as much if not more than someone who has become a nurse to get their, and when they fail not much else they can do unless they were smart and got qualified in something else at the same time

not sticking up for them, but its harder to qualify as a professional footballer than it is to be a nurse!

and people generalise and hate on those at the top with the big money, im sure the guys have enough credientials and bring in enough money to have them wages and positions, otherwise they wouldnt get paid that much, its different bringing cash in than just filling a job role thats not bringing big money in.

fact is if you bring in big money you want big money yourself otherwise your being taken advantage of!

not that nurses dont do more valued worked in alot of cases saving lives etc which you cant put a price on, but its not generating money so they dont really have the same claim to the extra cash like top level footballers or bankers do.

Right there seems to be 2 conversations going on, should bankers get paid more than nurses? Yes they should, should bankers be paid there massive bonuses if they fail no the shouldn't, yes bankers deal in figures we couldn't imagine but if they don't reach there targets then they shouldn't receive said bonus, as for footballers as someone has said if people didn't pay the 50 60 quid for a ticket then wages would fall, but alas there's always someone waiting to take that place and pay that money

they have contracts like anyone though, if your valued enough to have a big money contract for a certain length of time with severance clauses, and then your work didnt want you no more and had to pay the severance clause to get rid of you, would you say no its ok i didnt do as well as i liked i will walk away for free, or would you take your severance pay in full???? it shouldnt matter what the job is, if you got a contract your employer should stick by it and pay whats due.

its the banks fault not the bankers, after all they should agree their pay scales and bonus schemes to fit in around whats required.

The corner stone is pay differentials. i.e Minimum wage v Benefits. Skilled v unskilled

How do you determine what someone's job is worth.

Do you take a life time or a this year view. (Footballers short career, Nurse 40 years, good pension and job security)

Things do have a way to sort themselves out.

If you think footballers are paid too much, stop watching football, less money less to pay players.

If you think a nurse (Which ones) say ITU is worth the same as one that helps in an day clinic, why be an ITU nurse...

I suspect the true worth is how many people want to or can do the job, then the pay will be accordingly.

People get paid according to their skills and value to the economic growth and the growth of society. Nurses get paid more than porters because they have studied more for their position equally doctors get paid more than nurses. If nurses want more pay then they can take further qualifications. And the ill informed who blame it all on the bankers well if you want to be so blinkered then you do just that but you are displaying a huge degree of ignorance on how society works.

I normally avoid these threads but something does need to be be stated. Not all bankers receive the large numbers that the media like to throw around, in the same way that not all footballers earn £200k per week for kicking a ball. The majority of people working in the banking sector are normal people who work the same long hours that health sector employees work, if not longer because they are aware that they may loose their jobs at anytime due to the fickle world of investment banking. That world has become even more fickle as a result of decisions taken by a few, that affect more than most realise. If the majority of those bankers earning large sums and let's not forget, they pay large taxes on them, decide to move to locations that offer better tax incentives (without bashing them) then the rest of the nation will have to pay more in tax to fund the health-care system that we have in this country. It's a very short minded argument to jump on the bank bashing bandwagon with only a few facts behind you. Do the homework and look into why we're in this so called banking fueled economic environment. You might be surprised to find it's not the fault of the banking industry, but more political than that. And by the way, if you have a credit card, bank account or mortgage, then you are just as responsible as everyone else.

normally its done on how much money does my business make by employing this person, then they are paid accordingly or they look elsewhere and leave!

people just make footballers and bankers easy targets coz of their wages for when things go wrong, like someone above said these people are the cream of the crop getting stupid money, most people just aint coming close to them numbers at all! nice to have scapegoats, but really you cant blame anyone for taking the money they are offered and think they deserve, its the people who pay them it who create the monster they need to feed

exactly, a banker on millions a year, surely they have done endless years of qualifications and expiereience to get into this position for themselves, its not like they are going into ladbrookes or even on the stock market with someone elses money they do alot more than that

"Since Britain's manufacturing went down the pan, the finance sector brings in the most money for Great Britain PLC. Without ghe bankers doing what they do, there would be no money to pay the nurses teachers firemen police etc. none of those roles directly create wealth. All those bankers' bonuses are taxed at 50% so we get some of it back anyway"

The problem of course with moving over to a service dominated economy is that it is much more difficult to realise gains in productivity and grow the economy - a banker can only do a finite number of deals, a hairdresser can only give a finite number of haircuts etc etc without diluting the quality of their product. Whereas in manufacturing, productivity gains are available through improved technology, machinery, techniques etc.

This is why our economy has in fact grown much more slowly since the 80s in comparison with the 60s and 70s - and the only periods of rapid growth that we have experiencenced have been short-lived booms felled by consumer spending, bought with borrowed money, spent on mostly imported goods ........ followed by the inevitable bust

The simple fact of the matter is that the so-called free-market (they aren't really) policies our successive governments have pursued have not been nearly as successful as they would lead us to believe.

Time for some new ideas.

Nurses, firemen, teachers ... They should all be paid a lot more. Hands up who wants to pay more taxes??

I earn more than a nurse as do many on here. Hands up who wants to take a pay cut to sponsor a nurse??

If someone enters in to a contract that states they will earn an amazing salary and are entitled to bonuses who of us would refuse it?

Not all bankers are bad by the way and without them society would collapse.

This is why our economy has in fact grown much more slowly since the 80s in comparison with the 60s and 70s - and the only periods of rapid growth that we have experiencenced have been short-lived booms felled by consumer spending, bought with borrowed money, spent on mostly imported goods ........ followed by the inevitable bust

The simple fact of the matter is that the so-called free-market (they aren't really) policies our successive governments have pursued have not been nearly as successful as they would lead us to believe.

Time for some new ideas."

Reading through this thread I've actually come to realise that I don't really care how much bankers get paid, or footballers, or nurses. Or anyone actually. What a person carves out for themselves in this life is down to their good or bad fortune and tbh, when we're all on our death beds facing an eternity in oblivion none of us will really give a shit that Mrs. Jones down the road is vastly underpaid as a nurse, or that Mr. Moneybags at Barclays gets a million quid a month.

If I'm not going to worry about it then, I'm sure as hell not going to worry about it now when I have so much life left to live.

"Last imput from me on this .....just to say ..Bankers are still getting a Bonus for making mistakes ... now if her Nurse makes a Mistake ... someone could DIE ....

That applies to an awful lot of jobs/professions - the vast majority of nurses rarely are responsible for life or death situations"

Complete rubbish

I love the way this thread is so impartial in the way its set up. Comparing the 1% of people in the banking industry who are on big bonuses with the 90% of the NHS who are nurses is so garmented to provoke a reaction.

How about we compare the fat cat NHS administrators with big pay packets with bank tellers and bank telephone advisers.

Dare I post to this thread? Methinks this way lies Damnation.....

I was a card carrying Communist for a while in my youth, I have been involved in the Socialist Workers Party and don't shy away from being strident in my opinions.......

Of course Bankers and footballers should be paid more than nurses, their jobs are in higher demand and certainly Bankers are 'more productive' (in that Nursing is a non profit making job, and rightly so).

There are, however, big questions to be asked about HOW MUCH more those at the top of the financial and corporate worlds are paying themselves.

There is very little point in looking at the solid figure of how much someone at the top of the pyramid earns without looking at it in conjunction with how much those of us at the bottom of the pyramid earn.

A fair and equitable society should not judge it's self on how it can limit the earnings of those at the top, but on how it can limit the difference between those at the top and those at the bottom.

Lets also not forget that those who are receiving mega bucks now are in the exact same positions as those that destroyed the unions who did so much over the last 100 years to narrow the gap between the top and bottom earners......

The reason the jobs went abroad in the first place was???

I remember a factory near to me, employing some 700 people, that factory production has move to Poland. Did it go because they wanted a polish base, was it because polish workers gave more or was it simple economics?

The reason public sector is the still in the UK, is because you can't do it abroad, but with the huge cost to the taxpayer, i'm pretty sure there are groups working on how do it...

Remember an employee is a worker who can do a job a machine can't do, yet...

Make it worth while to build up a manufacturing base back in the UK.

Excuse me, but did the factory go because the Unions were too strong? Did it go in the 80's or the 90's?

No, it went because the labor was cheaper and even with 30 years of the decline of our employment rights and our relative pay, it is still cheaper to manufacture cheap stuff elsewhere.

This belies the lie behind us working the longest hours for the lowest pay in (the Old 15 nations of) Europe, Capital still sinks to the lowest price.

What the engineers and manufacturers of this country need to do is stick to what we are good at (being high spec, high performance, and extreme innovation manufacturing), not what other countries can knock out at 0.01p per kilo cheaper than us.......

I don't think it's really a very useful conversation to have. Bankers and footballers just will get paid more than nurses because they have more in demand skills (whatever you think about the skill of banking) and there's not much point being outraged by it.

It's strange though that we group footballers in with people who don't deserve their money. You very rarely hear people complain about film stars or rock stars making a fortune. Footballers just provide another form of entertainment and there's no moral reason they shouldn't become rich off it (unless you think there's a limit to how much money any one person should have...)

Seriously someone thinks a nurse gets £30kpa lmfao

A general nurse gets between 21 and 25k pa u less over time they specialise and become management.

Sorry I believe a banker gets paid too much yes they invest an gamble money and sometime win but even when they loose they still get bonuses.

A nurse gets a set wage no extras and if they do somethin wrong there struck off with no career in nursing ever again, and as public like to complain its easier forthem to get warnings etc

And yes footballers get paid way too much but some ppl believe that's entertainment, but to say movie stars an musicians should be in this groups is crazy as musicians only get money when they produce something that sells same as movie starts if they dont produce they don't get paid, fair enough if successful they get set high fees but takes a long time for this

Well what do you think footballers produce - week in week out they generate huge viewing figures and cash revenue - if the masses on virtually every continent didnt want to pay then wages would fall

Not putting the link to the RCN pay scales, as I run the risk of a 24hr band

A link to the Royal College of nursing, shows the pay scales of nursers, though not what each band does, starting salary is £21k entry level, with automatic pay rises each year for 6 year, plus any pay rises.

so a basic nurse with 7 years service is on £27k, for life guaranteed, and a fantastic pension (30 year service at 60) £10k plus £30k lump sum. Plus state pension.

That's for a basic level nurse who has not moved from the entry level in 30 years...

You are absolutely right, our differences are ideological (and I won't go into why I no longer associate with UKCP or SWP....).

It is, though, a true correlation that the greater the disparity of incomes between the top and the bottom, the less fair the society and the less connection those at the bottom feel to 'society'.

Salary or wages or income are not always related to performance/abilities or hours worked just being in the right place at the right time? or completed a course.

There are many other professional fields that under perform yet walk away with large protected pensions and some that based on the average 37 hour working week only work for 3 months of the year, maybe if everyone in employment worked a 37hour week with the standard 5 weeks holiday PA this is a good place to start.
