My dad is a roofer and my mom works in an office. Who do you think gets paid more? This has always got to me in a way. Government constrution workers do all right, but what about the rest of them. White collars or "businessmen" make more than your everyday worker. I guess the saying "knowledge is power" is true, not to offened anyone because I am sure the knowledge for hard labor deserves just as much credit. I am just interested in what people have to say about this.

My ex was in the building game and he earns a fortune.

I have a friend who again is in the building trade and he has just bought his own house at 22. Impressive considering house prices

We need both. Its a simple as that.

If the builder didnt build the house then the buisnesman wouldnt have a house to live in. If the buisinesman didnt order the bricks and arrange the logistics the builder wouldnt have any blocks to build with.

We need office workers just as much as we need manual workers. Niether is more important than the other. If I was to make million pound deals everyday then I would expect a good wage an a shiny new Audi. If I was to build houses everyday then I would expect to paid accordingly for my skills.

i am a nurse and we get paid crap money for all the rubbish we have to take from you lot, the general public. everyone is entitled to free health care regardless of what you have done to yourself be it accidental or purpose. some people are gratefull and polite. others are rude and even aggressive towards nurses. what people get paid for their jobs will always be under debate. especially when you loko at things like this: who is more important? the surgeon or the cleaner? the surgeaon cannot do his job properly if the cleaner hasnt done hers properly.
