What about people who do very undesirable, dangerous or stressful jobs, like paramedics, nurses, sanitary workers, that sort of thing? I think they deserve to earn more. CEOs can burn in hell, but there are plenty of jobs that deserve higher renumeration than say a cushy desk job
Paramedics are poorly paid in America. Nurses are paid far less than they are worth in most states.
I have driven an ambulance and I was making less money than the server at a restaurant. Money wasn't the factor there. In most places you got paid less for the more dangerous assignments and people fought for those ppositions just so they could be part of the action.
Actual management is important to any organization. If you got the same wage doing that as you did for any other role it would get done by some other way than pure averice. Like, if you have ever worked at a place that was well managed you can just feel it. However most places are managed for maximum profit instead and so we don't get to feel that.
