Recently a news item came about how the traders make more the double the surgeons. It was obvious from the start that the traders, athletics and movie stars make more money than surgeons. Even the Generals who command thousands and thousands of troops make almost one fourth to one fifth of the salaries the trade makes. It is just a sorry state of affairs that the people whose makes life and death decisions for other people are paid so low on top of the debt they incur going through the medical school and the years of training the Generals go through to reach where they are.
Although I can understand that some individuals have unique abilities that may command high salaries-like the demand and supply, but surgeons and Generals are not unique people. They really work their butt offs to make it where they are and still get short changed by some thirty something trading securities. I know that sometimes trading is a high pressured job but to give them ridiculously large sums of salary ahead of the life saving Surgeons and Generals (whose jobs are more high pressured) is beyond my understanding.
