I would be happy to follow up on the arguments proposed. It was the industrial revolution which led us to the world we know today. There are many professions where you get paid for lesser and many professions where it is too little. Needless to say, the disparity is so great and this is clearly reflected in many facets of our culture. Many professions and certain expectations are rather "spoilt".
Someone brought up journalism -- its manufacturing and fabrication "behind the scenes". Again, a clear reflecion of the state of society.
What did you make today?
