Some believe that people who do physical work should be paid on par with the people who have a high-level degree. Do you agree or disagree?

People involved in physical

labour

should be paid equal to those having

high-level degree

Suggestion

a high-level degree

is thought by some;

however

, in my opinion, the

work

involved, and the efforts should guide the amount to be paid and not just physical

labour

. While considering salary for different jobs, the nature of

work

should be taken into consideration.

This

is because effort includes both physical as well as mental exertion. A highly skilled health professional,

for example

, requires years of study and punctuality to acquire extensive knowledge.

Moreover

,

such

professionals are not paid at the time of their studies during college years.

On the contrary

, a low skilled job requiring physical

work

alone does not need any significant prior preparation.

This

is a clear

example why

example, why

physical

work

is not as good as a high skilled

work

with regards to payment.

Furthermore

, while individuals involved in physical

labour

often have fixed duty hours, most top skilled

work

does not.

For instance

, a lawyer has to plan,

work

, and

apply

hours but

hours, but

also

outside it, so

this

means working in non-duty hours as well. Equal payment for both these areas simply means injustice.

Consequently

, there is

comparatively more effort

Suggestion

a comparatively more effort

and focus involved in any high skilled

work

, if analysed as a whole, and

this

should,

therefore

, translate in terms of money wages. To conclude, a salary cannot be decided only by the physical

work

involved. Most high-level

work

being more mentally demanding should be paid more than the physical

labour

work

.
