Comparing Truck Drivers and Doctors is like comparing Steet Sweepers with Astronauts. They are not on the same level - and anyone who thinks they are is living in cloud cuckoo land.There is nothing wrong with being a truck driver. But it’s comparable with being a bricklayer in a building site. You are not going to get the finest or best in society doing it as a career. It’s semi-skilled labor at best - and is done primarily by people capable of nothing more.
But that “semi skilled” Brickie, capable of nothing more, could actually be earning more than a Doctor!
If a driver or anyone doing a trade really has been doing it long enough they will or should have picked up skills and on the job knowledge that is invaluable and would hopefully always be useful.
A Doctor can unclog your bum but I bet they wouldn’t want to unclog your chimney. Just because someone appears to have a lower skill set it doesn’t mean they’re not capable of earning as much if they’re in demand.
