[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7253740, member: 2119"] I don’t class myself as particularly bright, about middle of the road really. I often get the impression that many services charged at £250 per hour by a professional could be enacted by a technician on £25/hr. Routine uncomplicated legal processes such as land conveyance and registration don’t seem that difficult to me and with shopping around we have found legal practices who do delegate such routine work to staff on a much lower charge rate. Some though are happy to take us for a long and costly ride at top rates, looking for problems and creating work. Same with accountants. Top rate charging is only really needed for the complex stuff. I am forever grateful that my parents always tackled the paperwork for the IACS themselves and didn’t employ an agent. So we kept up with changes and the move to a digital platform, still completing it ourselves. Some professional jobs do require real skill and a high IQ. But many jobs, as my maths teacher used to say are just about teaching monkeys to do tricks. I’d put a lot of what I do in that category. Not much original thought needed! [/QUOTE]
