For example, the other day I came across a job for a dental receptionist. This poor woman had 25 tasks to do everyday, work 6 days a week and always have a smile on her face - to only make $10 an hour! These tasks all dealt with other people, insurance and billing companies - it wasn't like she'd be painting her nails all day long. It really burns me that a dentist will make in access $300 or more an hour but can't afford to pay the receptionist at least $18 an hour. Is it really that difficult to throw the office staff some decent pay? This is why I hate everything corporate - some old man at the top, who can't even work a fax machine or copier is getting millions and meanwhile the hard working people on the bottom get paid literally nothing. If you don't get married these days, you can't even afford your own place - not on $10 an hour. I want to know what employers figure in making salaries for their employees?
--------------------
absolutely agree with you. it seems that the more money that is associated with the job/industry, the more pay. so the fact that people are paying loads of money for dental work, means the dentist rakes it in, but this doesn't get passed on. anything that involves looking after people also seems to mean low pay... take a look at childcare workers. here in australia, they are one of the lowest paid occupations. salary has nothing to do with how important the job really is in terms of improving / saving lives.
