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

People study hard and complete high-level degrees because they want to earn opportunities at jobs that pay well, as
this
is a basic requirement for it. Most people think that hard workers should be paid equally with professionals with high degrees. In my opinion,
although
people with physical jobs are paid less, they cannot be paid on par with the people who have studied hard and received higher degrees. It is a quite well-known fact that most industries that require physical workers
such
as construction or factories do not to pay enough. It is because they do not require any fancy degrees or not even a college
degree
.
In other words
, people who just have basic
education
or not even that can only work in factories or construction sites as other jobs require different degrees.
Additionally
, these people are paid their wages on per hour basis, unlike the white-collar jobs.
For example
, a person working in the construction of a building works for the same amount of time as someone in an IT industry but is not even paid half the amount.
Nevertheless
, there are a lot of factors which ensures that there should a difference in pay between a person who holds higher degrees and a worker that does not hold any
degree
.
First
of all,
education
is quite expensive and people pay a lot and study hard to get any bachelors or masters
degree
. It would be unfair to pay the same amount of money to someone who has not done any of that.
For instance
, a person who has done masters in IT should be paid more than someone who has only completed high school and works in a factory.
Furthermore
, if physical workers would be paid equally with the
degree
holders,
then
the value of
education
will be diminished and may
also
encourage young students to give up
education
. In conclusion,
although
the people who do physical work are underpaid, I believe they should not be paid equally with people with a higher level
degree
.
This
can minimize the effect of
education
which can take us backwards.
