“I as a CEO provide job opportunities and “hours” to spend for TEN THOUSAND people. Obviously my time should be considered worth more than a doctor who does only one person’s hours”
There’s many reasons why one would claim that their job is more important, but essentially there’s 2 kinds of jobs: those that are valuable to the society, and those that are not. Plumber’s job is just as important as doctor’s
Ok I accept they’re equally important. We don’t want either to be in short supply. But if your plumber or doctor dies, isn’t it harder to get another member of society motivated and trained to become a doctor?
There’s surely people who choose their field because of the pay, but I honestly think it’s simply because your net worth is your worth in this fked up world
No, fuck that line of thinking. We live in an interconnected world where every worker does something useful for society, and they all have a right to a happy, fulfilling life.
different jobs have different values
a doctor should objectively be paid more than a salesman
but he isnt
the salesman social engineers society into thinking hes important
he is the definition of a parasite

There is no reason for skilled work then.
Why be a doctor who had to spend countless hours learning his job when you can just sweep the streets and get the same reward?
Because they want to?
Your unspoken premise here is people become doctors for the money
