I have decades’ long experience working at a very famous hospital.I did reasonably well,worked hard,made a decent salary,was able to live a comfortable (quite comfortable,in fact) life...but never anywhere near “wealthy”.
I rubbed shoulders with hundreds and hundreds of physicians and surgeons while there...many of whom were famous enough to appear on national TV.
These physicians and surgeons all made very,very good livings.Huge homes,the wealthiest towns,Mercedes (or better).Comparing my comfortable life to their *very* comfortable lives I see that they had more formal education than me,I see that from the day they first entered medical school they worked *far* harder and *far* more hours than me and had far,*far* greater responsibilities than me.
As a result I don’t resent them having been more prosperous than me...*noticeably* more prosperous.
There’s a somewhat famous guy on the web (can’t recall his name) who once posted on his twitter account something like “why should a brain surgeon earn more than a janitor?” IIRC his post was thought to be tongue-in-cheek...but who can be sure?
In addition, those physicians are also *WORKING*. They are doing a job that is desperately needed, unlike the politicians, most lawyers, and similar who leech off society and do very little actual work.
I have far, far more respect for doctors, for you, for janitors, plumbers, carpenters, trash collectors and anyone else who is actually creating something or providing a service as opposed to just conniving about how to move money from our pockets into their pockets.
