Teachers – They make a very high salary especially after a few years, despite very high competition and relatively low entry requirements for the job. Again the reason being it’s a unionized government job.

False. And even if it was true, teachers would be among the very short list of jobs that would actually deserve to get paid a massive amount, considering that they're literally creating and molding the future of our society.

Same goes for nurses and doctors for saving peoples' lives.
Tbh, I think the only jobs that are really overpaid are sports players (any mainstream sport like football, basketball and soccer) and CEOs of major companies and startups (ones like Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc). They do next to nothing for the greater good and their only drive is to make more money for themselves, and they don't distribute it down the ladder to their employees. Greedy and overpaid tbh.

Also, politicians and lawyers.
