What can we do to funnel the quot;best and brightestquot; people out of parasitic professions like lawyer or banker? -

and into valuable and beneficial professions which improve life rather than siphon and destroy life? I m not saying it s bad for people to make millions of dollars. I just think that our society should reward people for improving life , not merely lining their own pockets while destroying the economy and morals, as bankers and lawyers do. Should there be a salary cap on bankers and lawyers so that it forces the naturally money-grubbing bankers and lawyers into other professions where at least they can get rich doing something useful?

what we should do is really make some laws to limit all the frivolous lawsuits that are giving all these shi.. I mean lawyers work. If we lower the amount of BS that can happen in the courthouse, there won t be as big of a need for lawyers and pretty soon they ll have to find different careers for themselves just like the realtors. Also, lawyers that are part of a frivolous lawsuit, if they lose the case, they should be forced to flip burgers at McDonalds for a month to teach them a thing or two about real work.

I think a salary cap would limit their right to live their lives freely. Bankers and lawyers obviously are contributing to society in order to make that kind of money, even if you don t think so. Although they aren t out improving life, in your view, I bet that the people who they help are incredibly grateful and think their lives have been improved. It s not as though bankers and lawyers decide they want to earn money and suddenly do - you need to be good at your job and work your way up. You can t exactly plan to quot;funnel outquot; people who are smart and earning a lot of money and force them to do something they don t like, for a lower salary. I m a law student, and like to think I will improve the lives of all of my clients. I know this clashes with your views, but I just wanted to provide an alternative opinion for you to consider. =)
