That's...no.

You are a fucking idiot. It makes absolutely no sense for people to choose jobs according to how little money they'll make in them, and if a significant enough portion of people decided to do that, society would not be able to function correctly. Why? Because a lot of well-paying jobs involve the provision of services that we kind of need. You know, like fucking medicine.

But I guess it would be better for us to suffer from previously preventable illnesses than for some people to make money, amiright?

Honey, we need all sorts of jobs. Some are valued more than others. Try being a teacher. You'll find that one of the most crucial jobs in society in terms of giving a shit, is very poorly paid in most countries. Whereas there are SOOOO many useless doctors who can't diagnose out their own arses, or are completely insulting about it, who are being well paid for it. At my school, it wasn't the smart nerdy earnest ones who did medicine, it was the ones both the teachers and the rich parents hounded and paid tutors for. And so the system continues.

Of course we need all sorts of jobs. The person to whom I was replying was declaring that the only jobs anyone should take are the low-paid ones (and that a person's primary concern when taking a job should be how little it pays), which is stupid.

I agree with you that some very valuable professions are underpaid. And I agree that there are some awful doctors out there who got into it for the wrong reasons. But telling people that they should purposely avoid taking jobs that would pay above a certain threshold isn't much better than telling people that they should purposely avoid taking jobs that would pay beneath a certain threshold.

I don't think AYRT objects to people becoming doctors, as long as they work for the same wage they'd earn from flipping burgers, possibly supplemented by garden produce and chickens.
