What someone is paid has little or no relationship to what their work is worth to society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A person's worth is quite independent of their usefulness to society.
In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.
It starts this way: The worth of a job is not defined by what it allows you to do when you're not working.
Work is valued by the social value of the worker.
It's like you work with people, and based on the size of the budget, you sometimes can't pay them what they deserve.
And very often the influence exerted on a person's character by the amount of his income is hardly less, if it is less, than that exerted by the way in which it is earned.
People value and spend their money more wisely when they acquire it by their own efforts - also known as work.
Something is worth what somebody will pay for it. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less.
Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.
Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.
