Why are surgeons paid more than brick layers?

[JoePhilly]

186. What is "frustrating" is you claiming I said things that I did not say.

I never said brick layers are "paid too much".

I never said a "trained monkey" could do the job.

I never said anything about how mortar degrades over time, or how it needs to be maintained as a result.

And I never said that significant work does not need to be done periodically, particularly due to the effects of weather conditions. You then talk about "tuck pointing", I never mentioned it ... but yes, I familiar with it ... btw can you tell me which surgical procedure it is most similar too??? You gave an ok description of it in 2 sentences ... no text book required. Maybe that should give you a hint. Now describe the removal of a gall-bladder ....

Regardless .... you seem to have a very strong need to claim that I said things that I did not say ... not really sure why that is.

The issue posed by the OP is whether the surgeon and the brick layer should be paid more similarly.

Let's stop putting words in each others' mouth ... so you tell me ... should these two positions be paid equally? Should one be paid more?

Well?
