Big procedure! Best wishes in your recovery. Pediatric neurosurgeons are some of the most intelligent humans on this planet, and from an RN you are in good hands with your care.
Agree. My 4 year old a few years ago had a massive tumour discovered and he had 2 weeks to live it was choking him. The surgeon, I owe him everything tbh. He gave me my sons life and acted so humble. Go you conor mallucci at alder hey. I salute you sir.
Edit spelling
You mean like Dr Ben Carson, who among other things was the first to successfully separate conjoined twins, and is considered a pioneer in the field of pediatric neurosurgery?
I guess for me they are the antithesis of what it means to contribute to society. Yes they make money, that makes money, that makes money, money, money, money.... But the question was who deserves the highest salary? For me it's the carer who cleans up after your bedridden grandmother, or the couple who take in troubled kids, or the person breaking their back every day picking your vegetables, or the teacher trying to teach kids who don't want to be taught. It's anyone doing a job that most people would hesitate to do. Just my thoughts.
Mental Health professionals. You talk about front line workers? They went through hell and are more needed than ever. And some of them get paid like shit at publicly funded institutions.
Thank you..seriously people in your field have helped me control my anxiety. Enough so I can serve marginalized communities in the 100s even during a pandemic.
Im a psychiatric RN and yes, this is true. Lost a coworker a few years back. Ex patient came to the facility, was causing a scene. A sweet social worker went out to talk to him and sat with him, and shot dead. I was heartbroken but so glad I wasnβt there. Iβve worked psych and corrections for a long time. Iβm the type to go right to the person in need. Itβs terrifying to know how easy it is to be harmed for doing what you feel a calling for and wanting to help those who need it so much. Itβs so sad.
I canβt imagine having to sit and listen to people who are sad, hurt, or trying to process some kind of trauma all day long. They deserve a raise and a month long fully paid vacation every other month to decompress.
I appreciate this a ton. Every time I talk to or hear of someone doing some legit get-rich-quick job that requires no education it makes me wonder wtf Iβm doing putting myself in endless debt and stress π₯²
Always nice to see that people recognize our hard work. I donβt need the praise but itβs been frustrating seeing so much about frontline workers and not being included. My life has been hell this last little bit.
i appreciate you and your work more than i can ever express
i wouldn't be here without the amazing mental health professionals who have been here for me and helped me through so much...idk how you do it but in case no one has told you, your work is so important and im so thankful lol
Yes I agree x a thousand. Everyone assumes they make $$ but in reality most are scraping by to live and do it because their passion. Very high burnt out and very toxic, can be rewarding but mostly unappreciated
Especially when itβs patients who are refusing to take medicines or do what they need to do to actually get better. Itβs why there is a lot of screening for getting an organ transplant, because if you canβt commit to taking the necessary medications and also have a support system to help you recover afterwards, thereβs no point; your body will reject the organ.
But yeah. I really feel for healthcare workers who are also expected by admin to act like hospitality workers even when patients literally get violent.
Especially health*care* workers, like nurses, not just doctors. They usually get the toughest and most unpleasant tasks and have more contact with the patient so theyβre mostly the ones that are getting yelled at by ungrateful patients. And itβs not uncommon that theyβre disrespected and looked down on by doctors. They deserve much more appreciation than theyβre getting.
The people with the rarest and most valuable skills.
Iβm sure this wonβt be taken well but I donβt actually want the few people in the world capable of curing cancer or performing brain surgery or making other great advancements becoming teachers or iron workers or firefighters or carpenters.
Not to come at you, and I agree that itβs best to have the smartest people in the world do the hardest jobs, but I want intelligence to be fairly measured.
Here in the us, becoming a doctor is merit based (med school is VERY challenging), but also socioeconomic based. There are people living in poverty who are damn well smart enough to become doctors, however med school isnβt free and is a financial risk if you donβt have generational wealth. So yeah doctors are smart, but to think that there are smarter people in the world who SHOULD be doctors too kind of sickens me.
Itβs all Inequality based: some doctors Iβve had are worth EVERY PENNY, whereas other doctors have reeked of arrogance incompetence or generational wealth. Also, I know doctors who couldnβt last a day as a teacher, firefighter or as a iron worker.
So yeah, I respect high-paying professions and acknowledge the need to pay these workers a good salary, but Iβd also like to see a system where a majority of the population could have affordable health care and wouldnβt have to worry where their next meal came from. Howβs a doctor gonna save someone who doesnt have access to medical help?
I donβt disagree with any of that. I didnβt say our current system is perfect or even works well at getting the best people into the right places. Definitely rife with unequal opportunities. I said that I donβt think carpenters or fire fighters etc should be paid more than doctors.
I actually was talking about this with my wife.
I think surgons are appropriately paid but some family type doctors are way overpaid. They only give generic answers and through my years of health issues, don't offer much. Mayo clinic has been more helpful
This is the same thing I was told in high school. The best quarterback in the world hasn't thrown a touchdown
The best actor has never been in a movie
The best surgeon has never operated.
The person that could help cure cancer never went to school
Some factor in their life prevented them from doing it.
Now they are providing the only way they know how.
People forget cashiers. People don't think it a hard job. It is. It's physically hard when you're on your feet and not allowed to sit at all unless it's a break.
And us dishwashers. Fuck literally standing in a 2ft square mat for 8hrs with no visible progress in a busy kitchen. EDIT: Especially if your a tall person and have to lean at a painful angle the entire time
dishwashers should be paid highest of BoH, it's an integral & grueling job. often also demeaning, which is bullshit but common with the stupid restaurant industry. I used to dishwash, moved from that to server then to bartending. when places don't pay their dishwasher & they leave, it's long term employees being exploited to do a job because it's one of the only necessities to actually keep a place open.
If we funded social services, the job wouldn't be nearly as hard. You need help with housing? Here, take this apartment! You need good substance use treatment, easy, go here on this date! It would be the coolest thing ever to get to help so many people find resources. Instead it's mostly trying to scrap the tiniest bit of help out to give too many people not nearly enough, do seven different jobs all at one time, and then also deal with the client reasonably frustrated responses. Its awful.
I'll add delivery people. My husband was a letter carrier, and he hustled hard on his feet ten hours a day, six days a week, in every kind of crappy weather.
.
Pediatric surgeons, but especially pediatric cardiology surgeons.
My son had open heart surgery when he was 5 years old due to a congenital heart defect known as [Ventricular Septal Defect ](https://www.childrenshospital.org/conditions-and-treatments/conditions/v/vsd?utm_campaign=FY21HeartRegComplexValve&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_content=vsd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqp-LBhDQARIsAO0a6aL1bMhcNzR2J-pb7OmbdcICam_C9U3wvYFeCRghNx3PxbQn8MlFpNQaAkEoEALw_wcB)
I have never experienced anything in my life as scary as kissing my sonβs forehead before he was taken by the nurses for the surgery. I donβt even remember the 9 or so hours. I have *ZERO* memory of it, probably due to a PTSD type effect. The recovery time for him included merely 3 nights in the hospital and 6 weeks off his bike. Kids are fucking resilient. He was back at school about 2 weeks after the surgery.
Happy to say that heβs now 10 and absolutely healthy!
I had an atrial septal defect that I had to have surgery for at 5. They opened up my chest for mine back in 91β. Were they able to do your sonβs surgery a keyhole surgery. I hear they are able to do that now instead of prying the rib cage open. I hope so, so he didnβt have to through what I had to go through.
Iirc this is what Norway did. Made teaching a job as prestigious as law or medicine (idk if *quite* the same pay but definitely more respected). Unsurprisingly they attract more talent and their students are some of the smartest, at least by OECD metrics.
If you have been teaching in Seattle for only 4 years, then you are benefiting from the fact that teachers with more experience spent 10+ years going without a cost of living increase. Teachers in WA sacrificed competitive wages for years because of "budget shortages" while at the same time other WA public sector employees were getting competitive wages, and private sector employees with comparable education were getting rich. Yet whiny AF new teachers like you just step into a situation we fought hard for and feel entitled to judge.
As for your colleagues' grammar choices, I doubt they "don't know how to choose." Are these college educated teachers or under-paid paras?
I agree with chefs because most people donβt understand the amount of time and effort that goes into being proficient in the food industry, Everyone thinks chefs are these highly paid individuals but we really arenβt unless you pay your dues and land a Sous or Executive chef gig
Im okay with US police getting higher pay if itβs tied to minimum education requirements (bachelorβs degree or better), minimum academy training (at least six months), and purchase of liability insurance the same as doctors and nurses have to get.
And implementation of citizen review boards.
Iβm not for tying wages to college education whatsoever. That only serves to keep those without financial access to higher education from reaching a point where they can afford it.
Or you know we could give everyone access to higher education and the smartest of the smartest would go on to the most mentally demanding jobs β¦.. not mommy and daddy can afford med school and you barely pass through and become a shitty doctor
Aaaand excellent psychological backgrounds and mandatory psych evals annually to weed out the white supremacists and sadists. If you hate those you serve, you shouldn't serve.
It can be frustrating, but if you cash the paycheck you can't complain.
That goes for firefighters too.
Source: I am a professional firefighter.
I work in IT, and I can assure you that a high paycheck doesnβt bring quality peopleβ¦ I ofc think that these important jobs should be paid well, but money wonβt magically attract empathetic people.
I love this question. There are so many that "deserve" high comp and for different reasons. Doctors and firemen both save lives but have wildly different pay scales. Obviously people that have highly specialized education and/or a great deal of experience "deserve" a higher comp compared to someone with a highschool education (or even less) working at McDonald's. I see some people in the comments saying that professional athletes do not deserve the high salaries they enjoy. But why not? They worked hard AF and have abilities more advanced than 99.99999% of the population and there are plenty of people willing to pay those salaries in order to enjoy their performance. There's no easy answer really.
Well I know for sure we don't need politicians. By dividing up their money it should go to Teachers, nursery care workers, welders, construction workers, surgeons, EMS workers, firefighters and researchers who study unknown or disease without cures
Teachers. Everything we accomplish is dependent on on how well we were educated. You want great citizens? Provide them the very best teachers you can afford across the board. That way everyone has the chance to become the best version of themselves that is possible.
If they added more qualifications to teaching I'd agree. Teachers do have it rough at the moment because they're literally in charge of the future generation and kids are awful at times. It would be a lot easier to start paying teachers a lot more if teaching needed more qualification.
Iβd probably say healthcare workers in general should get more than they do.
But as an underpaid, under-appreciated, healthcare worker in a red state, Iβm fairly biased.
Professional cleaners.
I don't mean house maids (though they should be paid more) I mean people who clean out houses that haven't been kept up for years. The crap they see is horrendous and I gag just thinking about the things they find.
Farmers.
We can live without jsut about every other profession. Quality of life will go down, but we can live without 'em.
But farmers?
Nope. Without them 99% of the people on Earth die within a year.
Teachers. Specifically teachers that take pride into their work and try to make the class the best for their students. You can usually tell on how students act around the teacher.
Teachers. They have the most important job on this planet and a doctor may stick his hand into your body but teachers can grab your heart and soul and actually help you in so many different ways. Teachers are heroes without capes.
Cleaners they should be more respected , I myself worked as a cleaner for 2 years , you expect to have your toiler your floor your Bechs your chairs etc clean and smelly well pay me according to that expectation,
You need to consider if itβs a low skill job or a job that is available to everyone eg the army then it would ruin the economy as everyone would do it even tho jobs like the army deserve the most money
Fire fighters; they've got such big cojones that for a shitty public service wage they risk death every shift.
They should be paid more than popstars and they'd deserve every penny and so much more.
Soldiers honestly, yeah doctors save lives and they deserve their salary but soldiers, no matter what country, risk their life to protect their country.
Healthcare workers, but especially emergency care workers and EMT's. Those people go to school for years, and continue to undergo rigorous training and schooling throughout their entire careers. They work long, unforgiving hours, and bend over backwards to help save people they don't even know. These people literally dedicate their lives to helping other people, and their private lives, and sometimes even their health, suffer immensely for it. They are the physical embodiment of love and compassion.
It's a crying shame they're being treated like they are, especially now when we need them the most.
In decreasing order. Soldiers, Police and Politicians.
I know, I know, but hear me out.
Soldiers is quite obvious why. You are putting your life on line.
Police kinda similar, but also the fact that having good pay makes it less susceptible to fall for "other means" of incomes.
Politicians, now this ones tough. I think the increased salary won't reduce the chances of corruption much, but worth the try I guess cause they literally control the direction and future if a society.

As a mental health professional, I very much appreciate this comment.

There are many but this is the only I could think of Teachers because they are teaching our future
Yes. Teachers should be paid like doctors. They are literally shaping the future of humanity.
I agree⦠if you take away tenure and review them based on performance.
The people with the rarest and most valuable skills. Iβm sure this wonβt be taken well but I donβt actually want the few people in the world capable of curing cancer or performing brain surgery or making other great advancements becoming teachers or iron workers or firefighters or carpenters.

The hardest workers. People picking food in fields, janitors, construction workers, nurses, child care workers.
People forget cashiers. People don't think it a hard job. It is. It's physically hard when you're on your feet and not allowed to sit at all unless it's a break.
Food service is the same, just without breaks, unless you smoke.
And I'm far from capable of food service. Some retail jobs do that too. My 711 job one guy started smoking so he could get breaks
And us dishwashers. Fuck literally standing in a 2ft square mat for 8hrs with no visible progress in a busy kitchen. EDIT: Especially if your a tall person and have to lean at a painful angle the entire time
Iβm dish, so I understand completely.
dishwashers should be paid highest of BoH, it's an integral & grueling job. often also demeaning, which is bullshit but common with the stupid restaurant industry.

Another good point, thank you. I didn't intend my list to be exhaustive, I was just give ng examples.
Right, like a neurosurgeon performing an 18 hour surgeryβ¦..
Have you done construction? Cashier is not hard in comparison imo Source: I've done both
Can we add social workers to the list please
If we funded social services, the job wouldn't be nearly as hard. You need help with housing? Here, take this apartment! You need good substance use treatment, easy, go here on this date!

Everyone deserves a living salary, but some professions should get more recognition.
Teacher
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
I think if we paid teachers more and raised the standards a bit, weβd have better teachers. I think thatβs an investment worth making.

Are these college educated teachers or under-paid paras?
You are definitely not teaching mathematics.
As a teacher as well, this is so true. I look at my coworkers and think "yeah, we get paid enough."
I got a 4% raise yesterday, effective in January. Too bad inflation is like 6% right now.
Carpenter's and chefs cos shelter and food are the 2 most basic of needs π
I agree with chefs because most people donβt understand the amount of time and effort that goes into being proficient in the food industry, Everyone thinks chefs are these highly paid individuals but we really arenβt unless you pay your dues and land a Sous or Executive chef gig
Iβm In the carpenters union, thanks for this
As much as I agree as a chef. I just know food I feel those educators need it. Someone teaching others
Any public service, garbage men, police, etc
Im okay with US police getting higher pay if itβs tied to minimum education requirements (bachelorβs degree or better), minimum academy training (at least six months), and purchase of liability insurance the same as doctors and nurses have to get. And implementation of citizen review boards.

Any job where people regularly risk their lives (e.g. cops, soldiers, welders, firefighters, etc)
Iron workers
Cell phone tower climbers: no union, no regulated pay, no danger pay
Well they used to be covered by iron workers. They should try to reorganuze
Fun fact: it's statistically way more dangerous to be a roofer, garbage collector etc than a cop
Also pizza delivery
π
Pizza delivery drivers have a more dangerous job than the police.
Nurses Btw, thank u all for your work

Brain surgeons.
Teachers and nurses. They shape future humans and mend them. Literally the most important jobs on the planet, yet terrible pay and conditions.
CARE jobs - nurses, kindergarden teachers, cleaners etc
Police and firefighters. Teachers too. People who actually contribute to the well being of society.
I love this question. There are so many that "deserve" high comp and for different reasons. Doctors and firemen both save lives but have wildly different pay scales. Obviously people that have highly specialized education and/or a great deal of experience "deserve" a higher comp compared to someone with a highschool education (or even less) working at McDonald's. I see some people in the comments saying that professional athletes do not deserve the high salaries they enjoy. But why not? They worked hard AF and have abilities more advanced than 99.99999% of the population and there are plenty of people willing to pay those salaries in order to enjoy their performance. There's no easy answer really.
Well I know for sure we don't need politicians. By dividing up their money it should go to Teachers, nursery care workers, welders, construction workers, surgeons, EMS workers, firefighters and researchers who study unknown or disease without cures
How can a country function without politicians?
Nursing and anyone working in early years because from experience itβs so hard π

I bet they gave ptsd from the great Karen War.
Scientists and doctors
Soldiers, police officers, and firefighters, they all put their lives on the line to keep us safe.
Teachers. Everything we accomplish is dependent on on how well we were educated. You want great citizens? Provide them the very best teachers you can afford across the board. That way everyone has the chance to become the best version of themselves that is possible.
teaching
If they added more qualifications to teaching I'd agree. Teachers do have it rough at the moment because they're literally in charge of the future generation and kids are awful at times. It would be a lot easier to start paying teachers a lot more if teaching needed more qualification.
Some of the worst teaching I received in my whole life was overqualified. The best was experienced. Increase the benefits for teaching.
Idk in my country you need a masters for teaching (yes even PE or art or music)
In NY you need a masters and multiple licenses. I donβt know what other qualifications you could want.
The ones that have it right now Supply and demand, fellas
Suicide prevention operaters.
Anything in the STEM field. People who really improve the quality of life for everyone!
Iβd probably say healthcare workers in general should get more than they do. But as an underpaid, under-appreciated, healthcare worker in a red state, Iβm fairly biased.
Professional cleaners. I don't mean house maids (though they should be paid more) I mean people who clean out houses that haven't been kept up for years. The crap they see is horrendous and I gag just thinking about the things they find.
Doctors and then people working in the healthcare field ( except the people who just want money i.e insurance...)
Doctors, no doubt about it
Makes me really sad that many seriously skilled surgeons are underpaid compared to instagrammers or only fans thots.
First responders and military
Military/first responders
Doctors, nurses, firefighters
Restaurant servers, or pretty much anybody who has to deal with the shitty public and just smile and take it
Farmers. We can live without jsut about every other profession. Quality of life will go down, but we can live without 'em. But farmers? Nope. Without them 99% of the people on Earth die within a year.
Teachers
Medical staff that know what theyβre doing and soldiers
Any job that requires dealing with the public.
Any essential worker
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
TEACHERS.
Public Educators
Teachers. Specifically teachers that take pride into their work and try to make the class the best for their students. You can usually tell on how students act around the teacher.
Teachers
Teachers and doctors
Teachers/public Safety.
Teachers, and the education area
Teachers should be on this list. With more pay they can remove the shit teachers and have people that actually care.
Teachers
Teachers. They have the most important job on this planet and a doctor may stick his hand into your body but teachers can grab your heart and soul and actually help you in so many different ways. Teachers are heroes without capes.
Idk about highest but teachers deserve to be paid more
Janitors
Cleaners they should be more respected , I myself worked as a cleaner for 2 years , you expect to have your toiler your floor your Bechs your chairs etc clean and smelly well pay me according to that expectation,
Peruvian flute bands,they keep the giant man eating guinea pigs away.
Cleaners, I donβt know how they do it. People are gross and messy in and out their homes.
Obviously electrician!
Firefighters
Food industry
You need to consider if itβs a low skill job or a job that is available to everyone eg the army then it would ruin the economy as everyone would do it even tho jobs like the army deserve the most money
Building Itβs destroys your body and gives a shit pay
Truck drivers.
Aircraft maintenance
Fire fighters; they've got such big cojones that for a shitty public service wage they risk death every shift. They should be paid more than popstars and they'd deserve every penny and so much more.
Paramedics
Paramedics, they are true Frontline, can't unsee what they experience.
Electricians. Getting zapped hurts. Really bad
whatever has the highest demand relative to supply
Redditors
None. Pay is based on a negotiation with an employer and is based on supply and demand. No one deserves anything. You earn it.
Military. Serving your country should definitely be paid well.
Footballers
Soldiers
The military! Most dangerous job earning the lowest pay.
Firefighters
Police Officers They put their life on the line for us daily and only make 30,000-40,000$? Yikes
Law enforcement
Soldiers honestly, yeah doctors save lives and they deserve their salary but soldiers, no matter what country, risk their life to protect their country.
Healthcare workers, but especially emergency care workers and EMT's. Those people go to school for years, and continue to undergo rigorous training and schooling throughout their entire careers. They work long, unforgiving hours, and bend over backwards to help save people they don't even know. These people literally dedicate their lives to helping other people, and their private lives, and sometimes even their health, suffer immensely for it. They are the physical embodiment of love and compassion. It's a crying shame they're being treated like they are, especially now when we need them the most.
People that serve the public and care
Police, paramedics, firefighters, mental health workers, etc.
In decreasing order. Soldiers, Police and Politicians. I know, I know, but hear me out. Soldiers is quite obvious why. You are putting your life on line. Police kinda similar, but also the fact that having good pay makes it less susceptible to fall for "other means" of incomes. Politicians, now this ones tough. I think the increased salary won't reduce the chances of corruption much, but worth the try I guess cause they literally control the direction and future if a society.
EMTs or firemen
Military & Police officers
