NHS nurse is a grey area. They deserve the same pay as doctors, not a sh*t £18k a year.

Yup it was an easy one to use but then doctors or at least surgeons can argue that it takes a lot longer to become one (more years studying so less time earning), less people are capable of doing it (greater pay due to demand) and there is far more of a responsibility for the patient (little incentive unless your only motivation is to help patients).

There are so many areas where folk work harder but get paid less. Just looking it up one list gives top three most stressful jobs as prime minister, brain surgeon and policeman. Yet workers in all three services get quite a lot less then some in the financial sector despite the fact they are directly saving lives.
