Nurses
Social Workers
Nursing Home Caregivers
Aides who care for the elderly and people with special needs
Homeless Service Providers

Your premise is false. These people whine plenty. As they should, because they have plenty to whine about -- or, as I prefer to call it, complain.

Also, the social usefulness of one's work, or the difficulty of one's work, does not affect one's pay. Here is what does affect one's pay:

1. How much the employer is able to pay
2. How much the employer is willing to pay, in order to get an employee with given skills and competence

Plenty of people [i]deserve[/i] to get paid more (public defenders and home health aides, for example). Plenty of people [i]deserve[/i] to get paid less (you have your ideas, I'm sure, just as I have mine). But [i]deserving[/i] has nothing to do with it.[/quote]
