Professional workers like doctors, nurses and teachers make a greater contribution to society and so should be paid more than sports and entertainment personalities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Opinions differ as to whether highly-intelligent workers

such

as doctors, nurses and teachers should be paid more money than athletes and celebrities whose jobs involve less extensive knowledge. In my opinion, I disagree with

this

statement as I think that both sides should be equally paid. It is understandable why professional workers deserve a

high

higher

salary. The

first

reason is that they have to spend many years studying and researching in tertiary education.

For example

, to become a truly professional practitioner in Vietnam, a medical student is supposed to study diligently 6 years in a row,

then

they must accomplish more than 3 years of doing research in order to obtain master degrees.

Furthermore

, doctors and nurses are directly dealing with human life, and

thus

the pressure and responsibility in treating patients are very high. At the same time, teachers play a pivotal role in both educating and training the young generation. Without them, there will be no qualified professors like doctors and scientists who drive the country forward.

However

, it might be unfair to consider the contributions of sports and entertainment individuals inferior to those discussed above, which means they are not

an attempt to content the audience. Take singers,

for example

, they have to exercise their voice and dancing on a daily basis to capture the interest of the audience.

In addition

, despite hard work, not all singers can become internationally or just nationally acclaimed due to the

of show business.

However

, even if being famous, a huge number of fans could threaten their privacy and freedom whenever going out. In conclusion, while workers’ contributions to society vary

in particular

occupations, I believe that professional and less intellectually demanding workers should be paid equally.
