| 508838 | 2006-12-23 07:25:00 | Okay, let's narrow it down a bit. A job that is willingly paid for through privately earned income, but you consider to be actually useless - both the employer and society in general would be better off without it. Be intellectually honest: Don't just pick one of the bogey men like used car salesman or lawyers. It has to be a job that you think is not worth having done. |

| 508839 | 2006-12-23 08:03:00 | Is that because of a general dislike of sports, a regret for the loss of amateurism, or a dislike of the NZ rubgy sporting culture? The question was what is useless, so regardless of my tatses in sport, whats it for? Would the world come to a grinding halt without over paid people bashing balls around, pedalling about or whatever....no. Doesn't provide the essentials, food, shelter, cleaning up and health. So....useless. |

Anyone remember what his job title is and who made him famous? |

| 508841 | 2006-12-23 10:13:00 | usually because the people payin the wage dont have to earn it, They simply steal it from us through taxes and rates. All councils in NZ are bloated, most of them are reduntant, and all of them are duplicated. I'd rather have people working useless jobs and getting paid for it, than have the system we have now. Back in the day the government took on apprentices left right and center and people actually learnt a trade. Sure you had Post office techs driving all day to go change a light bulb, and any number of equally useless tasks, but people actually had to do something for their money. They had to get out of bed at 7am, get up and actually go to work. They were accountable to a boss. Now we have literally thousands of people on the dole or on sickness benefits. I'd estimate that about 30% of those are actually legitimately unable to work. Maybe 30% is being generous. So I say bloat the councils, duplicate the jobs, get people out of bed and actually doing something. |

| 508842 | 2006-12-23 23:01:00 | Car salesman - I don't need you to push me into buying a car from your yard, if I want to buy a car, I will buy it whether you talked to me or not. | SKT174 (1319) | ||
| 508843 | 2006-12-23 23:12:00 | I got some: Tiger Woods: Not that I doubt his ability in playing a game really well...but the untold money he makes is grossly disgusting. This is a total waste of money that could well go toward feeding someone...a small country for example....and not go to bigger cars and larger homes and more attorneys and accountants. ANY NBA Basketball Player: for pretty much the same reasons as Tiger's. Priests for the pain and suffering and holy denial of liability for harming small children and causing parents hand-wringing grief and threats of hellfire and damnation if they report such conditions. Politicians...need I say more? |
