I am not saying they do not work hard or that their work is not inherently worthy. All I'm saying is that society tends to value professions based on how much they fit into and uphold the idealized social hierarchy, and that is much more relevant to the social appreciation of a profession than "hard work" or "benefit to society"
- YeGoblynQueenne 8y agoI don't understand why you say this and where the claim about "upholding an idealised social hierarchy" comes from. Is doctors' work beneficial to the community? Is teachers'? Firefighters'? Nurses'? If it is, what is the purpose of assuming some other reason that this work is appreciated?
