Importance or Type of work?
This past week one of the discussion topics that we came across was about the highest paying jobs require the least amount of work or “dirty work” as some may say. I agree with this. A trash truck man does some of the dirtiest work there is to do in our world by going around and picking up all the trash at the same time that a major business CEO is twiddling his thumbs on his blackberry in meetings through text messages. The CEO is probably getting paid three times the hourly wage that the trash truck man is getting paid. This does not seem to be fair but that is how our world works. The CEO has completed a higher amount of education than the trash truck man so he has the higher paying job. Some may argue the level of importance of both jobs and that argument is a tough one to have. The business CEO is important to that business whatever it may be and the trash truck man is important to the world because if it was not for them we would have trash all over or we would have to take it to a landfill ourselves which probably would not happen because Americans are lazy. Should the pay rate of jobs be determined by the level of importance or what kind of work they consist of? What would you rather do for a job be a trash truck man or a major business CEO? I’d personally prefer to be a trash truck man because, “every girls’ crazy about a trash truck man.”
