#sports #professionals #money #people #impòrtant #professions
Some people believe that sports people deserve higher salaries than other professionals. I think,
on the contrary
,
this
 is not fair as there are other jobs which are more important to society and
those
(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result
thus
 should be paid bigger wages. In
this
 essay, both views will be approached. Those who support that sports professionals should earn more money claim, in the
first
 place, that they sacrifice their love and family life to grow professionally. Take,
for example
, the majority of football players do not have partners or families due to having to travel all the time. Another reason is that sports careers are short, maybe 20 years or less,
therefore
, high wages allow these professionals to save for the future when they will not able to play anymore.
On the other hand
, it is thought by many, that sports people should not have big wages. The
first
 reason is that there is no need to study to be good at playing games, meanwhile, physicians and lawyers,
for instance
, study for over 10 years to get licenced and ready to practice. The
second
 point is that sports are not essential for people's lives so money should not be wasted in these, but put into public services
such
 as education and health. In conclusion, many agree that sports stars should earn more money than other professionals. In my opinion,
however
,
this
 is unfair because there are careers that are essential for the society and for a person`s well-being, especially those related to public services.
Therefore
, these professions need to be encouraged with higher salaries given by the government.
