Should researchers be paid more money? -

In order to do research at university you need to get first to get fairly good GCSEs and A-levels. Then complete a 3 year degree with fairly good marks and a years long master��s degree and then a 3-4 years long PH.D with good marks, this costing ��3000 per year plus living costs and accommodation, leaving the student with large debt having not worked in term time (loss of earnings compared to other schools leaves) having worked hard for 9-10 year (35-60 hours per week) while not been legally required too. Then to be paid ��30,000 per yearCompare this to a student leaving school with good GCSEs there average wage over the years will be about ��20,000 over 10 years which gives them ��200,000 more than the researcher, the researcher may have ��40,000 debt from studies leaving the researcher ��240,000 worse off if the researcher progresses they may be paid ��16,000 a year more over their career so it will take 15 years to catch up to the school leaverWhy isn��t the researcher rewarded better.

there are many jobs that pay lousy but require above average education. Social worker comes to mind. Professional community center leaders. Childcare providers. (good ones have advanced degrees. I m talking moslty about Nannies.) Teachers (in some areas, not all of them.) Teachers at Comminity colleges, and many others. Imagine what the world would be lke if people were actually paid based importance of job. (I m kidding on this last part.)
