Accrington Web - View Single Post - Minimum wage rise

I understand your logic and agree with most of it, Boeing Guy. A person SHOULD get compensated for the efforts they have made and for their achievements. My children spent years of study during which they went without a lot of the things their peers had (for obvious financial reasons - no income as such during that time) so I agree that they should now be receiving decent salaries, which they are, and that their efforts are being justly rewarded.

However, I don't think you should have compared footballers with nurses - nurses are far more important that footballers - maybe if footballers DID get the same as nurses then the latter would be better compensated, though I doubt it.

Don't be surprised to get a comment from Margaret P re this. I'll be disappointed if you don't!!!!
