The rest of the world should work like sports teams. We should get drafted by big companies, and then showered with endorsement deals and signing bonuses. How many of us drive cars, or use computers, or wear underwear? (I hope that last one is everyone!) So, why isn’t the “Average Joe” selling Buicks, or Macintoshes, or Hanes underwear? Why are stars like Tiger Woods, Justin Long, and Michael Jordan who have plenty of money from their professional careers making tons more money selling these products? Why not spread the wealth?!
And think about baseball for a second. In baseball a .300 batting average is considered a good hitter. That is getting a hit 30% of the time. I wish I got paid millions of dollars for doing my job only 30% of the time. Instead I have to scrounge to make a living doing my job 110% of the time. (Factoring in overtime and doing other people’s jobs.) And if they so happen to do their job say 40% of the time, they can renegotiate for a higher contract! Whereas my job might actually count as some productive means to further the existence of people’s lives, they are working merely for entertainment. The world is just so messed up.
