| Post subject: | A bit of life observation |
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Harley Davidson motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop... The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?" The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get a really big salary, when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic... "Try doing it with the engine running." |

But for tricky procedures surgeons can stop the heart and start it again. I've seen it on Holby City, so it must be true.

I suppose he does have a point mechanics salary X per annum Train drivers salary 2 times Heart surgeon 4 times "captain of Industry" 1000 times CAbbie half mechanics salary Does that really reflect the levels of skill needed |

But is the top cogs job really so complicated only a few know how ? I suspect that there are thousands out there just as capable perhaps people should be able to "bid" for those jobs at lower salaries |

Perhaps wages are reflective of the effort put into attaining said job
