    Rise : NURSES , FULL STOP !!
    PAY CUT : FAT CAT, BIG WHITE CHIEFS who give themselves extortionate pay rises whilst the people earning them the money live on the breadline. Sorry bout the capitals but it's something I feel strongly about.

    TEACHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    without them society wouldn't be the same. And it would probably motivate them more and therefore do a better job. Its a win win, better educated children leads to a better society. Here in CA our public schools are soooooo bad, and I'm talking about the LA district.

    Politicians should get a cut.

    Nurses should get a substantial pay increase, football players should be paid less.

    I think teachers deserve a pay increase. Now that I work at a school I see how hard they work, how truly dedicated they are and how much crap they have to put up with sometimes.
    Celebrities deserve a pay cut - $20 mill for a movie? Come on now, that's just ridiculous.

    raise?Nurses, medical assistants and phlebotomists. hospitals and clinics COULD NOT function without these proffesions and yet many of the people doing them are grossly underpaid.

    Not to knock teachers, but in 2001-2002, the average teacher's salary was $44,367. The lowest was over $31,000, and that was five years ago. (http://www.govspot.com/lists/teachersalaries.htm)

    Anyone who works physically hard doing labor most of us don't want to -- rpad pavers, roofers, agriculture labor -- all deserve more money.

    Wildly paid CEO's, celebrities and professional sports players could all get by with a few million less.

    Hello all i posted this question and 100 percent agree with your teacher pay raises......but if what that person quoted was correct and teachers make 44,000 a year i would like to offer you this tidbit. I have been in the Army 5 years and have been promoted up the chain and am an injured e-5 and i make 35,000 a year and that is with BAH which is an extra living expense. The enlisted military makes table scraps.And about all the extra we make in Iraq it only seems a lot because you are forced to save it cause you cant spend it. Give the military a raise and our entertainment( sports, actors, singers) a pay cut)
