Hi guys
I am not having a go but am just wondering why accountant get paid so much?

How much do they get then?
Or more than the 60 Euro / 30mins a doctor may charge?
Or more than the 120 Euro / hour a plumbing company quoted recently?
Our local doctor charges € 50 euro for 5 minutes
Because that's what the market will stand.Hi guys

I presume you mean the doctor charges €50 for a visit/consultation. I presume s/he doesn't charge €100 if you stay for 10 minutes, or €150 if you stay for 15 minutes. .

Accountants spend a minimum of 6 and a half years training....
A 'minimum' six and half years to become a qualified accountant? I must have been a genius!
...which is about the same length of time a doctor spends in academic training, so that's why accountants get paid fairly well.
Barristers, on the other hand spend much less time in academic training, but seem to get paid much better. A barrister told me "I get paid a lot for what I know, not for what I do". It has to be said that not all barristers get paid a lot, some make a fairly modest living, and some do not stick at it at all.
Because we're worth itwhy accountant get paid so much

Any GP I've gone to has me out the door within 10 minutes, still full price.
