In some countries, a few people earn extremely high salaries. Some people think that this is good for a country., while others believe that the government should control salaries and limit the amount people can earn. Discuss both views and giye your opinion.
It is commonly observed that a few
people
receive outrageous earnings in some countries. This
subject is a contention between people
. A group opines it is good for the nation whilst others
suggest the law-making bodies should put a cap on the amount people
can earn. This
essay seeks to look at both opinions. I will give my opinion in the course of the essay.
To begin
with, there are various careers in the world. The qualifications and skills required to work
in each field differ. Some jobs are more involved than others
. For instance
, medical doctors spend six years of their lives at tertiary institutions whilst bankers only spend four years. The graduate in each of these areas acquires a bachelor's certificate in their main programs of study after University tuition. Furthermore
, in the field of work
, medical doctors have periods of running 24-hour shifts at work

for 8 hours each day. In comparing these two careers, it is obvious the work
of a health practitioner is more involved than that of an accountant and it is only logical for doctors to be paid higher salaries than their colleagues who work
at the bank. Besides
this
, most countries allow students to freely choose programs that will suit their future careers. Most of them do so after doing some basic research about the earnings of most jobs and tailoring their decision to suit their passion and academic capabilities. In view of this
, I can understand why some people
earn more than others
and I agree it should be so in these circumstances.
However
, in some nations, athletes and politicians earn outrageous income at the expense of many poverty-stricken citizens in these same countries. To illustrate this
, Ghanaian politicians receive huge monetary allowances in amounts that equal a medical doctor's monthly salary for making appearances at meetings including parliament sittings for a maximum of an hour. Meanwhile, each politician is served government-sponsored breakfast and lunch on each day of the week, makes
free flight travel to every place of their choice regardless of it being for a national program or personal program. Correct word choice

persons occupy leadership roles to amass public funds at the expense of the nation. In my opinion, such
people
are not deserving of what they are receiving as they aren't doing much. So in effect, I agree the national authorities put a cap on how much an individual can earn in society.
To sum up
, some people
work
harder than others
and deserve to earn more comparatively. However
, I do not agree with people
receiving outrageous salaries by virtue of their position even though they actually do very little.Submitted by nmaureen03 on
