| Badly Paid
The opposite of a well-paid job. We all would like to avoid this situation for ourselves and our family. However, sometimes it is inevitable. In a badly paid job, you don’t earn a lot of money.
Example:
Traditionally in the UK nurses and teachers, firefighters and policemen are often considered to be badly paid in comparison to some people working in Finance or retail or IT.
High-Powered
A very important job where you have a lot of responsibilities.
Example:
Her brother has a really high-powered job at a computer company.
You can also use high-powered in relation to people meaning he has a lot of power or influence.
Example:
Sam progressed in his career quite a bit along the way, he is now a high-powered executive in a big multinational.
