>nurses and teachers would be extremely highly paid Nurses do quite well in the US. Its actually one of the best (education / ($ * time)) investments you can make. In the UK, they do terribly. In the usa teachers don't do so well either. Some would argue that the government involvement prevents their true value from being discovered. (Could you imagine trying to get your CS skills valued by society? I see tons of complaints about _management_ not valuing their workers properly(despite the comparatively high salaries for CS jobs). Do you think the government's/voters' assessment would be higher or lower?). >advertising executives and sharepoint consultants would be paid less than zero. Well, unless the people who hire them are total idiots in reality, perhaps the world is a bit more complicated than that and you may be missing part of the picture? Some things may be dumb/inelegant, and the engineer mindset takes over and make you angry at _such imperfection_ and how you could do it better! But at the end of the way it works well enough.
