I really don't get why people are constantly equating education required with what a person should earn. There could be an indirect link since more education required reduces the number of people willing to put in the time, but honestly, who cares what education is required.
As for overpaid, I vote for traders (not that I'm complaining, as my wife is on that gravy train!) Being paid to gamble with house money, and keeping a chunk of it when you win seems beyond ridiculous to me. It's pretty much equivalent to a geologist getting 10% of the profit when he finds a well using the company's resources. This certainly does not happen, yet a trader will feel perfectly justified telling you "I made the company this money, so I should get some of it".
