All jobs require a certain level of skill and training, and not everyone is going to be the Bill Gates or Beyonce of their craft. For example, teachers, chefs, mechanics, etc... These are professions which require skill, but are not considered "professional". These professions should demand decent wages but they don't, for reasons stated in the article. <br />There are many people with talent and ambition who are not considered talented or ambitious because they do not want to own a business or be famous. Yet they still are hard-working and deserve decent wages. Would you want someone underpaid to teach your kids or fix your brakes?lulu82https://www.blogger.com/profile/11616766764397064167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-17958355984607563532012-09-16T19:37:50.270-04:002012-09-16T19:37:50.270-04:00I agree with several things in this post, but I di...I agree with several things in this post, but I disagree with the primary idea. Why should people with no talent or ambition make good money?<br /><br />As more and more mindless labor jobs are done by machine, I always thought this was a great opportunity for men to stop working assembly lines and pushing buttons and n really do something. Learn a trade, get real skills, DO SOMETHING. You disagree?SirStanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05846683281001542613noreply@blogger.com
