The Academic Epidemic Teaching, did you know that teaching is said to be one of the most stressful jobs and is compared to ambulance drivers, firefighters and pilots? You might also want to take into account that teachers are paid 14% less than other jobs with similar or even lesser qualifications. Sounds just a bit unfair, don’t you think? Well, I do.

Now that must not seem like much at first but if you compare it to other job qualifications such as if you want a placement listed on a National careers website for practicing football you need to have ''exceptional footwork and technical skills'', That’s just a fancy way of saying you need to know how to kick a ball. The qualifications needed for these two jobs are miles in comparison and the money paid for these jobs are also miles in comparison as the footballer will get paid more than a teacher in nearly every situation which is completely unfair as the teacher would have had to work harder for the qualifications compared to the …show more content…
Money is literally what people need to survive because how else are people going to pay for food, clothes, holidays, their children and their bills. Maybe, just maybe if teachers had more money they could live a bit more comfortably because as it is they have to be concerned about overspending the little amount of money they are currently paid. Also a lot of the stress elements could be eradicated from their lives making it so much easier for them. Finally noting that they actually work hard to earn the money they currently get paid and also teachers have an everlasting impact on society as they are helping the current generations as the evidence above helped to

Have you heard of school vouchers? A school voucher is a government voucher redeemable for tuition fees at any school other than a public school, which a student can attend for free ("school voucher", 2017). In the article “Who are the forces behind the school voucher push in Texas?” written by Brett Shipp of WFAA.com reveals who supports the public-school voucher and how they are trying to get the school vouchers passed.

The first day of anything can be daunting, they are full of suspense, anticipation and anxiety. In the Pulitzer Prize winning book,To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Miss Caroline, Jean Louise’s first grade teacher, is having the typical first day jitters and she is also not indigenous to Maycomb County. As a result of that, Miss Caroline is unaccustomed to established practices and the culture in Maycomb. All of the problems stated above lead to Miss Caroline having a more challenging first day at school than Jean Louise, commonly referred to as Scout, and she now has a bad reputation because too much was expected of her, and her students treated her with an utter lack of respect.

“Money can’t buy happiness.” “Money isn’t everything, its just paper.” Anyone who has ever grown up without money and lamented about it has heard these kinds of phrases many times. In looking around our culture and society today it would be hard to say those statements are true. While everyone has problems, rich and poor alike, having money gives you access to more solutions to those problems.
People’s salaries should be based on the job’s economic importance and value to society not based on their talent and ability to play a sport. Teachers, doctors, and the armed forces are all examples of professions that provide valuable services to society.

In my persuasive essay i will be talking about footballers wages. Many people believe that they are paid too much for kicking a ball about for a few hours a week but on the other hand, this can be argued as they have put lots of effort and hours hard work in everyday to become the best they can be so should they have as high a wage as they do? Firstly,some of the most famous footballers are paid massive amounts of money each year for example, Ronaldo gets paid £288,000 per week which is £15 million each year and on average a doctor only gets £37,547 to £70,000 each year which is 3 times less than a footballers wage and footballers only kick a ball about for a few hourss a week but doctors save people lives each day and there is some footballers who do nothing just as footballer Radamel Falcao who gets paid a whopping amount of £341,00 each week for doing nothing as he has only made 10 apperances for Chelsea 9 of which came from the bench. Some people believe that they deserve their high wage as they have put lots of effort and hard work into the footballer they are today.
In Malcolm Gladwell’s, The Tipping Point, the second chapter discusses the law of the few. While many people think it doesn’t matter what person an idea comes from, Gladwell explains that there are three main groups of people that help epidemics spread. The word epidemic is usually associated with deadly diseases, but Gladwell uses this word in a different context. When he uses the word epidemic he isn’t referring to sickness, but an idea or trend when it hits its tipping point, and begins to spread rapidly from person to person, much like a disease in an actual epidemic. Through Gladwell’s research, these people, known as connectors, mavens, and salesmen, have fundamental roles in creating tipping points.
The person that runs are country doesn’t make as much, people who save lives don’t make as much, teachers don’t make as
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops” states Henry Brooks Adams, a historian, educator, and author. In today’s society, teachers are undervalued and underappreciated for the huge part that they play in a child, teenager, and adult’s life. Teachers should be paid more because they contribute more to the future of the world than any other career, help students psychologically and financially, and most students in a survey chose that teachers need to be paid more than their annual salary. Teachers contribute more to the future of the world than any other career. They teach students social and intellectual skills needed to be an effective member of society.

Should footballers be paid that much money? Although professional footballers are considered hard workers who endured a lot of pain and hardship to get to where they are, it is still not a justification for them being paid huge amounts of money as there are other jobs that benefit the society, with more working hours, more exposure to danger and are paid significantly less than professional footballers. So are football players paid too much? or is it that, skill isn’t related at all to salaries?
