Some people get paid far too much. Footballers earn amazing amounts for kicking a ballaround. Pop stars are just as bad. I think people like nurses and fire fighters should be paidmuch more. After all, they save lives.

You’re so wrong, Frankie. Footballers and pop stars have special talents and bring happiness to people. They are worth every penny. People don’t go into nursing or the fire service to earn a fortune.

I think firefighters and nurses should earn more than footballers and celebrities. If you are sick, a singer, even if it makes you happy, does not heal you, but a nurse does. If your house catches fire, a football player will not stop the fire, but a firefighter will. I understand why people appreciate singers and photographers, that is, they really delight us with their talent, but nurses and firefighters have put a lot of effort into learning how to handle any situation, to save someone's life. Firefighters risk their lives, and nurses give their time for the lives of others. They are truly heroes and deserve to earn more.
