Useful
How do we define something that is useful?
- We define the status of a job by how much it is getting paid
But does how much you get paid correspond with the value of a job? Definitely not.
Is the garbage truck person who gets paid 60K/year less useful than a software engineering who gets paid 200K/year?
- No. The software engineer gets paid more because his skillsets are harder to obtain and thus more valuable. In general, software engineers need to go through 3-5 years of university.
What if we attributed salary by usefulness in society? This is Socialism?
