#people #entertainers #e #g #film #stars #pop #musicians #sports #money #jobs
The income of celebrities has always been a controversial topic. I agree with the belief that the popular personas from the entertainment as well as sports industry are being paid more.
Instead
, people working in the research and
development
 sector should be paid high salaries. In
this
 essay, we will discuss why the income of RND personnel should be higher than that of famous personalities.
Firstly
, since the worker in the entertainment sectors does not contribute towards the
development
 of the nation, paying them high wages will somehow deviate the coming generation from choosing the right job.
In other words
, being well-paying jobs, the youngsters will be more attracted to join entertainment industries rather than choosing a career in the
field
 that supports a country's advancement. To illustrate, these days we see more number of young population aspiring to become social media influencer than becoming an engineer or scientist.
In contrast
, professional in the research and
development
field
 which caters to the up-gradation of the nation should be motivated by offering them competitive remuneration.
In addition
, by providing a high salary to the employs of these sectors we can persuade the future generation to select a career in
this
field
 and support the economy with new technology and innovations.
For example
, school children usually tend to aspire for a job which offers handsome salary, so if they know that the researcher is paid well, the children will certainly want to become a researcher in future. To conclude, I concur that the popular personas are being paid much more than they contribute to the society and
therefore
, professionals in the
field
such
 as research and
development
 should be compensated well so as to support a profession whose ambition integrates with the overall advancement of the country.
