When I say bright I’m referring strictly to brain power… Most people who pass med school/clinicals aren’t average….. and there is more than just smarts that goes into that….
Briefly dated an oncologist.
They have specialized knowledge and have to perform highly skilled tasks day in and day out. You can't be "off" unlike a role like tech where you can have bad days. You can have a bad code release and roll it back. You can have a bad presentation one day and perform better the next. When it's life and death that's another matter and there truly isn't a price on your health.
I'd argue the high prices for certain work like plumbing, lighting, woodworking, etc is worth it. If a plumber charges me $75 - 100 an hour for a job that took him 10 minutes so be it. I paid him for his skillset and knowledge. He worked hard in my book because I didn't have the time or knowledge to figure it out myself.

Why do they bring up the single mother that ain't got shyt to do with working hard at a job. Acting like the doctor can't be a single mother as well.
People aren't paid on their productivity, they are paid on their perceived value. Do you see teachers spending their own paycheck to support their classes. Do you see people work labs, getting paid peanuts. the only hard work i acknowledge is one required to survive in this hellscape.

Bezos is no longer the CEO of Amazon.It depends on the type of doctor but it's about the value you provide. People are paid by value not by how hard they work. Bezos is worth billions because his company provides value to billions of people. Billions of people buying your products is billions in revenue.
If you're in a highly credentialed occupation that requires 10 years of school there's not many people in the population who can and are willing to do the job but almost everyone needs a doctor. Plus with how Healthcare is handled in the United States they can charge a huge premium for services. Surgeons make a shyt ton of money for this very reason. Don't matter how hard a surgeon works if they can't do a successful surgery. I'd rather have a lazy surgeon with a 99% success record than a hard working one who fails half the time
This is why even among doctors the top ones end up costing more. They are in higher demand.
That's just how capitalism is. Supply and demand.
Her photos have more value then seeing some strangers wedding. Hard work isn't everything to human beings. And hard work is relative.Does Annie Leibowitz who has an entire team setup her photoshoots and she basically shows up and presses the shutter button on her camera work harder than wedding photographers who do 30+ weddings a year?
"She has a better skillset than the wedding photographers who work all those hours more than her...so she she works harder because skill"
but people are using the logic HERE that "she has more 'skill' and she makes more so she works harder". clearly she doesn't work harder than some of these wedding photographers in my example. this has been my point the whole time. you only changing once the framing of "hardwork" was removed from doctor vs 25k person. Having a skillset doesn't mean you worker harder than somebody else, like i said before.
people in here getting in their feelings because they've been running around saying they "work harder" because they have a degree or a cert.
Doctors don't just have degrees bro....
If you were talking about a corporate middle manager OK. But doctors have residencies, rotations, and have to prove their compentencies several times during their schooling to even be a doctor.

What’s the difference?
Working hard is about the effort you put into the job
I would say hard labor is a job that is more physically demanding
It takes brains to commodify yourself into a business model so you can get off the damn plantation.
Hard work isn't all about muscles and physical strain
