I have been giving some thought to society, professions and economics.
For instance, a Kardashian type, who makes fragrances and has a pretty face, nets more wealth than a scientist! Is it more important to you that Christina Aguilera sing well or that a school bus has a safe driver transporting your child to school? I cant be the only one that finds this to be odd...I am in no way saying that someone else should mandate what a certain person be allowed to make financially, but you have to admit that it is interesting that we, as a civilization have allowed this. I suppose that to me, at least, the degree in which a service is NEEDED should dictate the value, yet its nearly the complete opposite.
If I were given the opportunity to completely change society, how would I do it? How would I fix it? What would keep us from returning to where we are now?
So, back to the original question. Do you think that a doctor or a teacher is more important to our society?
-Teachers benefit our youth to create a future, while doctors benefit us to maintain our present.
Then there are engineers and police?
