And they you look at some kid who barely graduated high school but can hit a curve ball and is making a 4 million dollar bonus plus 3 million a year. And these are our society's priorities?? No wonder our kids are so screwed up. Someone's pay has little or nothing to do with society's priorities. It has to do with supply and demand. I think there are less then a thousand major league baseball players. Out of that group there are even fewer who make $3mil a year or more. So that "kid who can hit a curve ball" might be in the top hundred in the world at what he does. And his job is such that differences in talent can be fairly clear and are important to the organization that he works for. Another factor is that he can entertain many people at the same time. Even if you wife is one of the top hundred in the world at what she does she can't teach a million kids simultaneously. If she was going to get paid as much as the baseball player, she would have to bankrupt the parents of all of the kids she teaches and that still probably would not be enough. Tim
