Of course some do, and thinking otherwise is ridiculous.

Well, here you go, just to depress/amuse/inform you

(Average salary by profession)

I guess some would argue based on the OP's question and the table above, that Psychologists fits the question quite well....

What are they defining a psychologist as?

Not a clue to be honest. I just know it's the data from an ONS survey.

As opposed to what? I would assume that they are referring to professional psychologists whatever their specific area.

Perhaps judge is the wrong word, 'leaves an impression' is more accurate

I don't know how much a persons salary really says about them tbh, not in the context of a discussion forum anyway. Occupation maybe, but their salary itself, I'm not so sure.

I'm surprised that you seem to care if people are judging you or not. I couldn't care less if people knew my salary. £6.50ish (shocking that I don't actually know!) and £14 is what I'm paid. If people want to judge me for what I earn then so be it, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I want to have a legacy that only relates to the content of my crap posts. Perhaps I am unduly concious of myself, but here I feel a blank canvas is the best way of presenting a convincing (crap) argument.

But we all know that you are an aspiring Lawyer with sky high earning potential....

I'm presuming a Clinical Psychologist.

Any tbh... given the popularity of Psychology as an undergrad course there is rather a lot of competition to even have the opportunity to train as one.

Completely this!

The content (or often lack of) of my posts says all it needs to. It's actually surprisingly liberating

means I feel a lot less inclined to back up my arguments with the facts that I vaguely remember but can't be bothered to find. Well I'll throw them in, just not bother with a source.

I'd go with pornstar. If you have a massive penis (which you don't), and become known in the industry, I'm sure £1000+ per shoot is not uncommon.

I'd be interested in suggestions for jobs that pay well but aren't too demanding. Do they exist?

They do, but your employer is likely to be a notoriously unscrupulous corporation with a history of concealing serious crime:

Lord Patten made the deal after a conference call with lawyers and the agreement of two members of the BBC Trust’s remuneration committee. They were Diane Coyle, the vice-chairman of the trust and a former government economist, and Anthony Fry, an investment banker.

Mrs Coyle is married to Rory Cellan-Jones, the BBC’s technology correspondent. She is paid £77,005 a year to work two and a half days a week for the BBC Trust and since last year has also acted as an unpaid adviser to Chuka Umunna, the shadow business secretary.

Security guard if you can put up with the boredom.

Prison officer pays fairly well too.

True, was just thinking of undemanding jobs.

They are also pretty demanding. Taking abide from customers and being expected to meet targets etc.

Air Traffic Controller.....

.....At Barra or Stornoway.

Teacher or Politician

Model. It's hardly strenuous standing around having people take your picture and you're successful then it's very well paid. Often a short lived career though.

Your BBC obsession has officially become scary. Are you going to quote, with bold text, news articles about BBC even in unrelated threads now?

(Interestingly £150k pro rata for a board member is hardly outrageous or unusual).

Soldier in the AGC (SPS). You sit around drinking tea all day in a nice warm office and if you're female and cry you get automatic promotions
