Without them we would be knee deep in rubbish with disease and vermin rife.

Dare I suggest that wages on the whole, like any goods are based on supply and demand. The jobs that most people could do like you mentioned above tend to be paid less than say as mentioned above an airline pilot.
I am generally a fairly modest person but if being honest with myself I do class myself as an asset to my company. They reward my skills and knowledge with what I class as a good wage. You can not just walk out of school into my job, it has taken me years of training, both from the companies I have worked for and my own personal self training to make me into the person I am today. I am still and have never stopped learning and improving my skills to make be both faster and more efficient in my role. As an example if I have not been in work yesterday the company could have lost tens of thousands of pounds in non recoverable sales.
So yes I do expect to be rewarded more than some other professions.
On re-reading my post I want to point out that all that twoddle I wrote up their does not make me a better person than anyone else, just better at my particular profession than many other people.
