Highly Paid jobs, that any old eejit could perform satisfactorily at...

Highly paid = Above the London median , circa 45k per annum.

any old eejit = not requiring great qualifications, talents, dedication, or other massive sacrifices to be good enough. Nor the IQ of a rocket scientist. Plus only a fairly modest probability of ever getting found-out and sacked.

1. Tube Driver

2. Many jobs in the NGO sector

3. BBC presenter

what others ?

I'm not sure that some of the jobs mentioned could be done by any old eejit. Or perhaps I should put it another way .. whilst eejits have managed to get into those positions e.g. Prime Minister, it doesn't follow that they have done the job with the skills and integrity that should be integral of that role.
 
Traditionally this type of job would be gained via connections.....who you knew, not what you knew....the old school tie kind of thing.

Back in the 90s I helped run a successful pub and we would get young chaps who worked in the city coming down for lock-ins and I had this impression about some of them....that they got the job from connections......Cash to spare but seemed nothing special between the ears......The loadsamoney sketch wasn't just a joke.

Today, I suppose the whole DEI industry at management level is essentially a well paid 'make busy' job that is pure ideology. So hardly genius territory.
 
The higher you progress in most careers, the less work you actually do. It's more about delegation, and you don't even have to be accountable for anything, because you just pass the crap downwards.
I'd rather like to be an MP, towing the party line. Employing family as part of my Secretarial team, flipping houses and exploiting expenses loopholes. Feathering my own nest by lobbying for companies,....oh, and being a public servant helping people in my constituency.
Spending occasional days in The House, getting hammered in the subsidised bar, and eating in the subsidised restaurant.
It all sounds rather jolly

Wanted MP for nice leafy London borough.

Experience: None required, just make vague statements about your work history e.g. worked in education.

Family Links. Candidate must be related to senior labour party officials but for god's sake don't tell the voters that so it's best to use a different surname so they can't make the connection.

You think I'm joking?

Meet Liam Conlon


He is the son of Sue Gray who has gone down in flames but not before she secured him the job as my MP.

At the time I told my lefty neighbour that something stunk but I didn't know what. His CV was a blank piece of paper and I googled him and couldn't find anything about him.

We only discovered he was Sue Gray's son after the election. We still know nothing about his previous work history.

It's disgraceful that candidates are allowed to get away with this.

That's one way not to lie on your CV.
