How come the people that work the hardest now don't get paid the most? Blue-collar jobs work (in many cases) a lot harder than white, yet get paid far less.

White collar workers spend anywhere from 4-12 years in school, investing a big part of their life and money into hopes of giving themselves a better life. They sacrifice early for a chance at a better future.
And if you think blue-collar workers get paid "far less", trying hiring a plumber or an electrician. The rates those people charge are exorbitant. [/b][/quote]
Good enough. I was taking issue with the point that 'people who work harder should get paid more'. Obviously its not true, as some of the hardest workers (physically) get paid some of the lowest wages.
I guess 'work' has to be defined.
