In Topic: Should Medical Doctors' Salaries be Slashed?
23 June 2011 - 11:24 PM
insane_alien, on 22 February 2011 - 08:43 PM, said:I'd rather see a doctor on $200000/a than a basket ball player or a politician.
Basket ball players are information workers, as they produce TV shows. Just like other information workers (actors, authors, computer-game designers, strategic planners, etc), as their product can be sold again and again and again, even a fraction of a penny/view will add up to a ridiculous wage. So, that $200000/a represents about 0.01c/view, so it's not really that bad.
Not gonna defend politicians.
Are doctors reasonably unique in that the fruit of their labour isn't information, yet they still get payed that high?
