You really have a problem understand the concept of of "not replaced", don't you?

so all we really need are farmers, prostitutes, tinkers and hunters

everyone else is a specialist that we can do without

Pretty much but I don't know why you included prostitutes.

But???But????? But????? You said yoru welding job is worth just as much as their job, You earn what they earn, NOW, you admit they work harder, longer, more stressful???

Which is it??

Just Ego talking?

trying to make melting metal sounds as important as rebuilding bones, hearts, muscles?

In terms of number of people benefitting from it, it is far more important. Surgeons have a direct impact on a relatively few people. Most people never have to have surgey.
Work longer, sure. But that is a major reason why i feel they are not worth what they charge. If somebody is going to be cutting on me they damn well better be fresh and alert. I don't care if it is a heart transplant or remove my appendix. If they aren't then they are providing second-rate services. Harder? I doubt that very much. As a weldor yourself you should know that most surgeons would run home crying to mommy if they had to work in the conditions most weldors see every day. Laying on their back in a muddy trench freezing their ass off, etc. More stressfull? I'd put that at 50/50.

And the guy who picks up your trash is even more important in the grand scheme of things. (The Black Plauge demonstrated that pretty conclusively.)

Should he make at least what a surgeon makes?

The Black Plauge was spread by rats who transmitted it via fleas. It is well known that rats need very little to live on. They are quite abundant even in neighborhoods where our Gods surgeons live.
Do you believe a person should have their wages restricted because of their job?
Do you believe a man is entitled to charge what he wants for the work he does as long as the customer is willing to pay it?
Do you believe a person is within their rights to take advantage of anothers misfortune by charging an hourly rate that is far in excess of what most other professionals make?

LOL, only a joke, I couldn't resist!

Yeah, for the conditions welders have to work in, (I always wanted to learn underwater welding) BUT, they choose many years of school, and even more years of Bills, to avoid that, and I woudl run screaming from those years in a classroom!

no more a problem than you have with "the real world."

I have a suspicion you don't find this thread nearly as funny as the rest of us.

Right. But when sanitation is good (i.e. sewers work, trash is hauled away, houses are well-constructed etc) the problem of flea-infested rats infecting people is minimal.

>Do you believe a person should have their wages restricted because
>of their job?

Nope. Nor should their waged be elevated merely because they believe their job to be very important.

>Do you believe a man is entitled to charge what he wants for the work he does
> as long as the customer is willing to pay it?

In most cases, yes. Even if they act like a douche.

In most cases, yes. Bail bondsman, towing companies, fancy cocktail bars and hookers come to mind.

as well as, electricians, plumbers, A/C heat types (heck, ANY type of 'repair' business), cab drivers, DZOs, dentists, car dealers, skydiving equipment manufacturers, (endless list IYGWIM)

well, if a rich doctor or a rich welder had a mal, the rigger would be justified to charge triple for the repack

but not the poor engineer, or IT guy, or paramedic

right?

Oh, don't worry, I have no problem with the real world. But some people do have problems when it comes to conceptualizing something they have never seen before even if it would never happen and is only a hypothetical situation.

And, yes, I find this thread quite amusing. I am taking all posts with a grain of salt. Especially yours.

I am very claustrophobic and would never do well in an underwater welding environment, wet or dry. I also do not take well to water.

>You mean like a surgeon?

Yes. If there is a poor surgeon out there who believes he should get more than other, more competent surgeons get - then their wages should not be artificially elevated.
