Hey, thanks for thinking for me! I really appreciate that.
in reality, I don't look down on anyone who has a lower paying jobs (I've had plenty). I just accept that people need incentives to achieve their dreams beyond "well society needs you to do it". One of my brothers is a doctor. He was in school/training for over 12 years before he was done his specialty where he literally spent 80% of his average week in a hospital. Now that he's graduated and working full time his average work week is 80-100 hours long. I guarantee he wouldn't bother if he knew at the end of it he'd be making the same as kid he grew up with that dropped out of high school at 16, and now works at the dump. I think the BMW he bought in full with just a portion of his signing bonus coming out of med school might have had a bit of an incentive.
And here you are thinking it's even remotely possible that you can convince people that don't trust their neighbors enough sleep soundly at night without a handgun in their nightstand to give up alomst everything they ever worked for so that Billy the dump worker can live more comfortably? Best of luck with that.
