All wages should be the same. Whether you are a doctor, an engineer, a gardener, a plumber, a burger flipper, or the guy who puts cotton into aspirin bottles. All wages should be the same regardless of specialty or training or skills. Everybody should take home the same amount whether they work 10 hours or 40 or even a hundred hours a week, whether their job is dangerous or cushy, whether they work 1 day a week or up to 45 days in a row 15 hours a day every day. Whether they work close to home, at home or thousands of miles from home. Whether they are off work the second they leave work, or are expected to be on call 24/7 and ready to travel on a moments notice. Whether they can sleep a comfy night or have to be ready to respond to a crisis be it an accident, a chemical spill, looters hell bent to burn the city to the ground, or even a terrorist attack. Everybody should have the same wages. Except of couse union people whos wages are calculated as minimum wage times a multiplier. /rant
