Saving lives or playing ball?

The media produces in the news daily how much money baseball players and celebrities make. They just so happen to selfish enough to request more and more millions. In today's world, a million for playing baseball is not enough. They always want more. And actors and actresses, forget about it. Most of these people won't dare act unless they're are getting paid a couple of million dollars. Fame today is worth more than a life.

Doctors, nurses, firefighters and policemen are underpaid. They save lives everyday, but somehow that is not more important than the entertainment world. What the government fails to realize is without people, the entertainment would be worthless. All of these doctors and nurses have to go to school for a long time and it's costly. But how are actors and sports players educated? Most of them do not even attend college, let alone save lives. Firefighters and policemen are the most underpaid. They work in extremely poor working conditions and don't even get paid a quarter of what these so called 'entertainers' are paid.

The government should get their priorities straight and pay accordingly to how worthy the person is to society. To me, a life is worth more than a program shown on television.
