Chauffeurs More Important than Doctors

Chauffeurs More Important than Doctors

Good job to everybody doing their job honestly, but there has to be an order. Is it normal that, like Minister Zorana Mihajlović once said, salaries of some secretaries vary between 45.000 and 120.000 dinars, while pediatricians get only 67.000, and teachers 46.000 dinars? In Serbia, for example, manager (48.680 dinars) and independent officer (43.799 dinars) of “The public cleanliness” have bigger salary than teachers.

ODoctors less paid than chauffeurs

In “Serbian Post Offices”, security guards have bigger salaries than teachers (54.053 dinars) and in “Srbijagas”, secretary of the managing director gets 47.323 dinars a month.

The situation in health care is a little bit better, depending on the profession. For

example, pediatricians in public health centers have salary of 67.057 dinars, while doctors of general health get 59.337 dinars. Those salaries are somewhere near the ones that the employees of the “Privatization agency” have. The ones working here with secondary education get 61.725 dinars, the ones with associate degree get 64.500 dinars and the ones with bachelor degree get 105.511 dinars.

Salaries of nurses are really disgraceful, because they have salary of 33.128 dinars. Nonetheless, in “Serbian post offices”, auxiliary workers get 34.367 dinars, drivers 41.181 dinars, deliverers 38.137, at counter workers 39.647, treasurers 43.833…

That is completely absurd: doctors and teachers, two professions that have the most educated people and vast responsibility while doing their job, because they cure and educate our children, have salary that is on the level of the state average, or slightly above it...
