Quite shocked that hard labour jobs are VERY lowly paid

programming developers, barristers, doctors, architects etc....have high pay and don't require much effort

I think you're confusing physical exertion with general effort.

Either way these professions don't require much energy for you to actually do that effort while hard working jobs like mining do require a lot of energy and is more likely to make you tired.

No wonder my dad gets a heart attack whenever I mention to him that I don't mind being a cleaner or binman, the pay is absolutely shocking, I thought binmen earned around £25000 on average but turns out they barely earn £17000 a year on average which is quite shocking, that amount of money is not really enough to afford a decent and comfortable living in London, same goes for bircklayers who work really hard to build homes for us, I just don't really know why professions such as programming developers, barristers, doctors, architects etc....have high pay and don't require much effort while hard working jobs like mining are such lowly paid.
Surely it would make sense to have it the other way round? That would mean more people will want to become bricklayers who can build homes and solve London's housing crisis.

This must be a troll post.

Be a tube or train driver. That's surprisingly well paid (starting salary for a tube driver is £49,673) but requires no real skill or effort required -though it would be very dull.

Even the most learned and liked among us can momentarily lapse into insanity.

The answer to your question has something to do with supply and demand, and specifically with something called 'added value'. I'll leave you to figure that out.

I really don't think I'd cope well driving a tube train into a station at 30mph with a platform rammed with people 6 inches (or less) from the edge...

But it's not as if going off the rails is really an option. The starting salary for a soldier is under £15,000 and we give them weapons.

That would be the pay for your standard soldier. The British Army doesn't require you to have any qualifications at all to join as a soldier. You can earn more within the Army if you have the right experience and/or qualifications. The starting salary for an Officer in the Army is around £30k but requires GCSEs and A-Levels minimum (most Officers have degrees)

Jesus Christ this is why socialist teachers need to be stopped. Picking up people’s rubbish is a menial and simple task, which requires virtually no effort. You’re comparing this to the likes of doctors, architects and other intellectually skilled jobs. Architects give instructions to builders, the builders don’t do the thinking, they do the simple job of placing bits together.

Also,
The primary reason the wage for binmen is so low is due to the over-saturation of the job.
