True, but I think that the people's perception is what we are discussing here, not what is actually scientifically correct.
Students are taught Maslow's hierarchy as fact, so I think it can be assumed that the perception argument is fair here.
- DubiousPusher 10y agoFor me the problem with this isn't the invocation of Maslow's needs but the step to saying that they have some bearing on how people view occupations. I just don't think that's born out at all by reality. Architect which is a very respected profession isn't fully necessary to meet even the basic need of "shelter." You can build a house without an architect but you can't without a builder. While corn farmer and cattle rancher, the underpinning occupations of our food system aren't treated with much respect or reverence at all.
