Why do sports people have the chance to earn millions do what they enjoy, why the people that actually help the quality of peoples lives earn a pittance?


This world needs to get its priorities right.

Sorry but this is highly HIGHLY out of context.

The amount of people as skilled as Wayne Roomey you can count on your right hand. They get paid for what they are good at and people watch them because they enjoy watching it. How many skilled players are there out there's playing in the higher leagues of sports? Compare that to how many middle-class upper-class and lOwer-class people there are out there. Heck, if you had the skill you could be a professional football player too, but sadly you don't and neither do 99.9 percent of the population. They get paid for that because they are that 0.01% and deserve to be I. That pay grade. No one is saying you cant make good money. If you go to university for biology nf then medical school afterwards you can be making upwards of £600,000 per year. But it takes the practice and skill to do that. Just as it does for high paid athletes. You would never make the comparison between a surgeon and
A nurse because a surgeon has to be born with smarts and talent, but neither should you make the comparison between a soccer player and a nurse because a soccer player
Has to be born with the talent as well.

You have no idea, what it takes to be a top athlete. You have no idea, how much they have trained to get that far.
Everyone can learn to be a nurse, only few of us have what it takes to be athlete.

And also cash flow in football is huge.

Can I ask what you base that on?

Athletes have long and hard physical trainings everyday. They literally push their limits, they are capeable of things, which most people aren't.

I also wish to include that Actors can and do make more than football players when theydo the exact same thing, in hindsight.

They entertain with a talent they are born with and work and practice long hours in order to be the best.

Do you know what it takes to become a nurse?

So, are you both (Ardo and Robb) trying to say that being an athlete is more worthy than being in the medical department?

3 years in any college for a BSN

Yes, fox.
Everyone can learn to become a doctor. Tbh, I am about to finish my school and if I want I could easily go and learn medicine but the point is that I don't want.

Abbie, watch the numbers in OP. Clearly it is.

No I'm not saying that and never even implied it I'm just saying there's a reason why they're paid so much more, and that, opposed I what Lilly said, in this case the world does have their priorities in order pay wise.

Easely learn medicine he sais. I'm already sick of this lol.

Ardo is also wrong. No One easily learns medicine
I myself wish to become a surgeon, and it'll take high 80's in high school as well as 90's in university which are VERY difficult to get. In no way at all is medicine easy to get into.

Both of my parents are doctors, I do know what I am talking.
