In your opinion, who gets paid more than they deserve?

my list would have been the same as yours. think they all get paid too much.

I think athletes and actors/actresses get paid way to much. To me thats not a job that deserves a lot of money. I think teachers deserve to be paid more than athletes and what not because they work harder then most careers and with out them where would we be??

I do think politicians get paid more than they are worth, considering that they also kind of "sell" favors, some much more obviously than others.

I do think that some the others, while some might be getting paid too much, well, they are offering a limited pool of skills and talents to the world. While some talentless jerks are certainly getting paid for making garbage, many others are entertaining us either on the stage, screen or playing field with gifts that few others in the world have.

CEOs, while it may not look like they are doing anything, are actually probably working even harder than you would believe. To have ideas, to listen to others, to be a dipolmate, often an inovator, stay sane, its not a wonder that they have some hobbies. And that golf game, many not be just a game, but a relationship building event with a client, partner or other person.

My father went from being the Research Director of a firm to Executive Director and it was the most stressful decade of his life. He was glad to turn the possition over to someone else and stay on as a consultant for the rest of his life.

They are not up in "ivory towers" looking down on the "bums" working the plant looking for ways to lay them off, hardly, that doesn't do them any good, doesn't do their business any good. It is in their interest to streamline jobs, not to fire people, but to have one person work more efficently.
