Imagine for a moment you are tasked with determining the wage of 2 people. You are provided with 2 lump sums you need to give to each person based on their contribution for their past years work.
In one bucket is 100K and in the other $1 million.
Now image one person is a teacher and the other is a hockey player. Who would get the larger pay amount.
Seems to me we're in a pretty messed up society that wants to pay someone more for pushing a plastic piece of rubber around on a slab of ice that has no consequences on anything the moment the game is over than those that are tasked with educating our kids.
In most cases I believe in free market forces determining someone's income, but it seems to fail far too often.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND. It's a fairly simple fucking concept. Lots of people want to, and are able to work as a teacher. They make less than those with skills that are harder to find and / or more in demand.
That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.
I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.
