问题     Some people feel that entertainment workers (e.g. film stars, pop musicians or sports stars) are paid too much money.
    Do you agree or disagree?
    Which other types should be highly paid?
选项
答案     I agree with the view that stars in the entertainment business are usually overpaid. This is true whether we are considering stars of films, sports or popular music, and it often seems that the amount of money they are able to earn in a short time cannot possibly be justified by the amount of work they do.
    However, it is also true that it is only those who reach the very top of their profession who can get these huge salaries. So the size of salary that stars expect is closely linked to the competition they have to overcome in order to reach success.
    Furthermore, the majority of stars do not hold their top positions long. Sport stars and pop stars, for example, are soon replaced by the next younger, more energetic, generation, while the good looks of most films stars quickly fade. So this relatively short working life may be some justification for the very high pay.
    Unfortunately, professionals from the other fields, who make a much greater contribution to human society, are paid so much less that it is hard to disagree with the statement. Teachers, nurses, laboratory researchers, etc. are never listed among the best-paid professionals, yet, they are more important to our well-being and our future than the stars who earn their fortune so quickly.
    In conclusion, I think there may be some reasons why entertainment stars earn high salaries but overall I agree that they are overpaid. The gaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for the good of society cannot be justified. Such professionals should be much better appreciated and better paid.
