amazon123 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Apparently not. Doctors are paid what they are worth. If they were overpaid there would be pressure to decrease their pay and it would happen. Since it hasn't happened it means that the NHS deems it reasonable to pay them as they are. Teachers on the other hand are paid what they deserve. If teachers don't like it, do what everyone else does when they are in a job they are dissatisfied with and quit. There are others who will fill their place. Doctors' pay was massively inflated due to a dodgy contract drawn up under a recent government and increased massively in relation to other professions. This has since been recognised as a mistake by many. this is also partly why there is an outcry from junior doctors who are about to have their pay decreased. Don't you read the news? As for teachers - there aren't vast swathes queueing up to enter the profession due in large part to the poor correlation between workload and pay (amongst other things). This is why there is currently a retention and recruitment crisis. Again, don't you read the news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously aren't educated enough to know the difference between a junior doctor and a GP. The so-called contract that is apparently overpaying is the GP contract agreed in 2004. The pay dispute now is with junior doctors only. So go back and do a little research. I am surprised if you have a university degree and unable to construct a decent agrument with correct facts.

That's what I did, far more money with a lot less stress. But, hey - who needs Mathematics teacher anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
