Am I wrong in thinking that jobs where you are helping people will be completely shit pay.

But jobs where you are helping some CEO get richer, they’re the ones that are more likely to pay well?

It’s a messed up world

You are paid according to the value you create. The definition of "value" depends on the field and market. In a hardcore market driven company, helping people usually does not bring in much "market value" (i.e. money).

You want helping people to be valued, go to a system (i.e. company) that does that, like a nonprofit or foundation or research lab for that topic (or, in many cases, government).

@RememberMe Completely agree. I was just having a moment of reflection.

One of my kids was being tested for dyslexia and this lady was so helpful.
While I was there listening I thought to myself, this person probably gets paid next to nothing for this but makes a massive impact on people’s lives every day, several times a day.

And then there’s me, probably getting at least 3 times that salary for creating software for our shareholders to make some money.

Made me also think of the time I was going through physio too, and how the folks there were helping us recover.

Be nice to work in IT for somewhere that makes a difference to people’s lives

@TrevorTheRat messed up, indeed

Money itself is the problem.

It has no value, yet has become our value system.

There is no possibility of a fair value system as long as the value system is based on human principles.

Empty capitalism hatred.
