've Got a question, maybe what I think is interested not only determines the number.
Why Earn the people, for example, sitting in the office more than people working really hard? Hard physical labor is much more tiring than working head. Why make the people the whole day standing at the machine and manufacture the product is ultimately less than the just sit around? I do not understand really. Can someone explain to me the full meaning?

I somewhat agree with you. A lot of these things in life are seemingly unfair. I believe that if someone puts more effort into what they do, then they should earn more money. This doesn't necessarily follow the physical labor aspect because the person that works in the office might have spent more time in school, training for their job.
However, in the end, I believe that the whole idea of earning money is unfair. The people that do the most, whether physical or not, receive so much more less than the people that don't have to do anything at all.

Hi,
Yes you're right, but this is not just a story about jobs and education. Okay, I agree that a degree will lead them into decent jobs in accordance with their intellectual, but I think it depends on luck and the competition is very tight. ('s our country, an engineering degree is not a guarantee for employment, an intellectual and achievement in school is not a guarantee to avoid unemployment)

That is very true! I forgot about that aspect. Nowadays, the competition for the job market is becoming more and more difficult. People are borrowing loads of money to pay for an education, but then they are unable to find a job after they are done, and have difficulty paying off their money! Essentially, they will be working to pay off their education in the previous years.
Sometimes, it really is about just having the right timing and luck to find a decent, good job.

Dear we have what we call the white collar jobs and the blue collar jobs. Let's say for example you didn't go to college and have a degree. It means you didn't invest a lot of money right? You didn't spend for expensive college tuition. Now you can only have that blue collar job which requires more physical hard work that pays less.
Now let's see you went to get a college degree, which means you spent a lot of money. Of course your qualification gets higher landing you to a high paying job that doesn't require too much physical hard work but your brains.

Hi,
I just think right now, what you said is very true, a degree is an investment of money and time. Good.

Not all physical jobs pay less. Last time, a workshop changed the transmission of our car. The laborer was paid $80 per hour for it. Also General Motors pay over $50 per hour to people who work in their plants. That is more than what some people sitting behind the desk make. Also the nurse's assistants working in the hospitals make a lot of money and also receive free health insurance for the entire family.

Hi,
Really good news from you, I'm glad to hear it. Treat as I thought and curiosity. I do not consider this case as an injustice in the world, but really sad to see the facts, the workhorse is the lower middle class who are willing to sacrifice their physical by little money to eat. I was pensive and cry to see their suffering.

i am with you. i don't understand why this is all happening. well, first of all i think that we all live in a world like this. people who have minds earn more. those people who just work using their bodies earn less than them. i think it's because mind is more powerful than just bodies. but i just hope there are possibilities or chances that people who work hard using their bodies can also earn more than the usual.

Hi,
And most of the poor who can not afford to have a high school diploma, can only work with the physical. As far as I know, to go to school does not require a bit of money. Sorry, I made ??this topic after I read the news about the work of the author's house, one person was killed falling from a height, and what he's got insurance and perks is nothing more than to buy a coffin and food for the family for several months.

I think because the high paying office jobs require special and specific training that takes time, money, and dedication. For example, a lawyer would need to graduation high school, get into law school and study another 6-7 years. Then train!! While any physically well being can work in for example construction with days or even just hours of training. I do appreciate all types of professions though.

I have full respect for people who have to work hard physically and I do not mind paying a fair price for products that were produced by fairly paid workers.
Unfortunately we live in a generation greed is good, but do everything possible to ensure nothing is willing to pay. Therefore, companies are forced to pay their hard toiling workers little to even the company can still be maintained.
Polemics with you does not change anything, but just trying to think about his own consumption.

Here are several things to be jumbled. First, it is the market economy and the law of supply and demand, which ensure that are needed in our automated industrial workers less and therefore only an unjust wage is paid.
If I start from a situation in which the world is still OK, so industrial companies pay the fixed wage employees, the employees earn in production by shift allowances etc. more money than ordinary office workers.
The content is sometimes lower than other employees, judging from the number of hours worked. Just as I know it is partly also worked on weekends and on holidays, apart from the whole lump sum paid overtime at the office and the evening service dates. In addition, there is a series "business trips" to get where these employees and their families, partners not seen for weeks.
Everything is important but also bear the responsibility of the executives. Finally, make the decisions about success and failure, even on jobs within the company. Often these things can not be stored after hours and they always carries around with him quite a few experienced at some point a burn-out or expire any substances, so that everything is bearable.
Sure, it's a bit over the top, but I do not see often some supervisors who are more likely to sleep than to sit up in the evening in the office, so that the workers in manufacturing in the future still have their jobs - what with the company's success goes hand in hand.
Finally, I'm not sure if "hard" work in the production is absolutely exhausting. There is adequate breaks and rest periods and the heavy work done often by machines. Can decrease the stress in the office but no one machine. (Years ago, there were significantly more employees for the same amount of work.)

The first one should consider differentiated. sure to meet so only partially, but there are also "hard" professions, such as an industrial climber who earn more than many "soft" professions. also has a place in the office no heavy physical labor secretary at a salary well below asking miners.
why the association nevertheless stands out is because they often do not work for physical education leading long needed. and the longer the "grueling" education, the more the want to make learning even pay later. scaffolding for the assembly, you need not 5 years of studies after 12 - 13 school years, different looks at the lawyers, doctors or psychologists from.
added that the narrowed field of higher education with more and more. I assume almost everyone can do the activities of a baker's assistant. The competition for this post is therefore greater than for example an auditor.
whether it's "fair" or not, I let it go another.
certainly play a lot more factors involved, but that was the first thing that came to mind. hope you could help with your question.

If you think that a desk job sitting around exhausted, thou shalt sleep with a few correctly identified.
But what do you think anyone who invents the products and the machines designed for this, who ensures that the products are sold and that sufficient resources are available for the production, who cares that the revenue covers the expenses and that all time to get paid their wages, ...
The grafter on the machine is the last wheel while he is in doubt, be replaced quickly and does not much help to add value. If he's good, he creates perhaps 3% per day to produce more products, more profit as 50 $. If a buyer is good, he buys the material for the entire production by 3% a cheap - and that brings millions.
Since making his high salary paid quickly.
