that professional athletes get paid millions for playing a sport that doesn't benefit the world except probably entertain people each season but people who really do help out the community like teachers get a LOT (hecka lot) less D:

Yes, I've always wondered that. Teachers have to put up with a lot of crap sometimes, and they don't get paid very much. It's not very fair.

Same as policemen and firefighters. Seriously, if the world was fair, the people who really did stuff like saving lives would get paid the most. And educating us and our future/current/never existing children.

Life


is unfair

and besides, they have talent and they're using it. so they get money from it. it's not unfair that some people work harder to train and they get sponsored. work = money.

Sports give people hope. Sports give people something to entertain them while the world is in chaos. Sports is an escape for many. I mean it is unfair they get that much amount of money but thats how life goes. Actors, Singers, Sports stars.

maybe if everyone stopped tuning in, buying game tickets, & merchandise they wouldnt get paid so much. the money doesnt come out of thin air. Alot of it comes from our pockets.
but i think they get overpaid. its like they got lucky with their talent, and we pay through the nose to watch.

Get over it. Life is never fair and it's not your fault. stop complaining.

If teachers wants more money, go work at private school.
At least, they're getting more money.

Teacher choose their job because it's their passion, not money.

I dont blame the athletes either. they deserve it. it's not their fault that they found wealth. other than that, athletes had inspired millions of people which increase people's activity, control obesity level, and better health conditions.

You're right, but I don't think I made my point clear. There are many jobs which can be classified as "non-beneficial to the world", but that doesn't mean they deserve to get paid less.

Um, it's NOT always hard work to be famous. If you're born with pipes like Christina Aguliera, you can make a million dollars with your hands tied behind your back. The hard part is trying to get signed, and you don't get paid for looking for a job.

You're joking, right? While I agree that one's aspiration should be related to their passion for doing a good job (ie doctors and educators) that should NOT mean that their salaries should be pittance.

So educators should hop on the Private School express? Where would that leave those of lesser socioeconomic status? Their only choice is to go to a public school and someone needs to educate them. How about instead of telling teachers to teach elsewhere, allocate more funds to education.

Having said that, comparing the salaries of celebrities to common folk will never lead anywhere. Some people just get handed the golden deck of cards, the rest of us deal with the financial life we're handed.

Also - it's not always a simple path to become a famous and wealthy sports persona, musician, artist, actress, etc.

yea it really is unfair i mean what benefit is paris hilton except acting like an idiot on t.v when teachers teach rude kids for a living and those kids are extremly ungrateful. this world is unfair. stubborn.gif

i think firefighters and policemen should get a raise because they might not be able to save a life but they save many more while risking thier own everyday.
Totally agree

^just because they get paid a LOT for saving lives doesn't mean casualties won't happen. You can have a fireman paied 50000 bucks a month and yet he can still fail at saving a child in a raging inferno


Well, at least they save someone. Do athletes save children from raging infernos? I don't think so. hammer.gif
