How many people in the world can pick up the garbage on your street?

How many people can crack open your skull, meddle with your brain and not kill you in the process?

But does that mean one job is more important than the other? Modern medecine has advanced our health by leaps and bounds. Modern garbadge collection however, has done the exact same thing.

I agree, but its a matter of market value. Almost everyone can collect gargabe, thus the compensation for doing so is low. Performing surgery requires a lot of study and even more practice, there are much fewer people capable of doing it and as a result, the aforementioned compensation is much greater.

I'm not saying one is more important than the other, just pointing out the fact that highly specialized jobs pay higher wages.
