I mean, ideally there’s a hospital where lots of doctors work and provide their labour at an equitable rate based on reality, rather than a situation tailored for high stakes. But I get the sentiment.
Yes, true. I don’t support Billionaires or the idea that different people in different jobs don’t work hard in their own way, or that management should make so much more money than everyone else. I just think some people should get gross pay, or danger pay, etc. I’ve had rough days at work but I’ve never had to insert a catheter or wipe a patient’s ass.
In our hypothetical world we’re envisioning here, I think a flat multiple would be inducement enough for some. To be able to retire 3x or 4x as fast for hazardous, stressful, or highly unpleasant jobs would be very attractive for a significant amount of the population.
As for education, you could just make it so students earn for studying (rather than paying for the chance) at a low multiple, and make more skilled labour a moderate multiple.
At most, only one order of magnitude greater seems fair. Nobody’s job is a billion times as hard as any job.
I would give 1000 hours of my time to a surgeon if it meant they saved the life of my partner. I don’t care if it only took them 60 seconds.
Some things are far, far more valuable than a single extra 0.

The number of doctors is irrelevant. The point is that some things are worth far, far more than a single extra 0.
