If you were to pay someone professing his job enough so that he would be willing and able to profess it, the world would be much more equal. You really should take a course on political and economical elites, because that's more of a reason certain professions get paid more then others. Everyone has the freedom to pursue, but has to make due with the wage that was set by society and you can't question that? That's completely rediculous. Your "common sense" that one should simply look for another job when one doesn't pay enough is complete bollocks. People don't just switch jobs that easy. For some people, that's a difficult process if one finds a good job at all in this job market. The market is not controlled by the invisible hand, but by the peopel working in it. And there you'll find the reason the wage gap still exists. |
Says I makes no sense sociologically, but gives this asinine idea that we should get equally paid throughout all sectors. Your utopian idea is far from realistic and is outside this world. It has nothing to do with supply and demand? When people need a product and service, they PAY for it. Do you think services are free and that the money companies recieve comes from the trees? I can't believe I have to explain this in such simplistic terms and it still doesn't register with you. If nobody had heart problems, do you think heart surgeons would be getting paid as much as they do? When nobody comes for a service or product, employers aren't making money. You expect me to educate myself when you have no idea about economics, let alone the reality of how people get paid. Why would I question how things are structured? It's simple as I need to state over and over: You get paid more for a job when the service is highly in demand and there aren't many workers. And once again, if small jobs were paid equal as dangerous, difficult jobs, no one would work those dangerous and difficult jobs. SO, tell me: In your utopian world, who is going to apply for these necessary jobs? They are needed because of the DEMAND of the services and with a short SUPPLY of workers, who will do the important jobs that keep the homes and facilities running? My common sense is certainly more realistic than your utopian worldview which is out of this world. A lot of people do go for different jobs and different studies. I'm an example of one of them and so are the many I have met in College who changed majors/career fields.
