I think the jobs that no one wants to do like mc donalds and garbedge men always have the least pay? And then you see people sitting in a room signing papers MAKING MILLIONS! Why is this?

I don't know how it is where you work, but in my city the garbage men get pretty good pay.

That's what I was thinking, and here they even have regular hours, they don't have to run the trucks at night so they have the same hours as eveyone else.

Here they like to start early so they can get off early. They also avoid the heat of the summer days by doing so. The other day they picked up the trash at 6:30 a.m.!

I think the reason why the jobs that are very had pay so little is that they are generally very unskilled. No one has invested in training. No one has spent thousands on a university education, or years of their lives 'spen' in study. Those jobs can be done just as well after a couple of months as they can with twenty years experience. I think that is why.

You are right.People who do hard labor are often paid less.Why?Because they are less educated.Education is everything in this world.With a few exceptions like Bill gates ,this is true according to the world.Money is not everything in life.

Money make money. And that always will be like this. People how have money can pay what they want for other peoples work. And they usually pay very bad for other people in order to have big incomings. It is difficult situation but thats the way it is.

The garbage men can make mistakes and drop some garbage and the consequences is not much to talk about and nothing really gets hurt by that but the people who sits on the office signing important document can decide whether they want to attack a country or not, for example. Just imagine the consequences of that action.

This is unfortunately true. I get paid 7.50 and I work at a corner store that makes takeout, sells icecream and the owner does a little butcher work on the side. Which means..that as a part of my job i have to clean up all of the bloody bins and tools he used. Its unfortunate that the pay is so low to, becuase alot of the workers are students who are trying to save up for college or other expenses and they usually put up with these jobs just becuase they desperately need the money.
