[quote=jimmyle]I also question your comment that Police Officers provide much more benefits to society than Engineers.

Well that whole subdiscussion treaded dangerously into “what is fair” territory. And that’s just silly because Life Is Not Fair.
If life were fair, and salaries were set based on their benefit to society, would baseball players make 100 (or even 500) times as much as teachers?
And yet, it is so.
Apart from the financial aspect, I personally feel Police and Engineers are both *indispensable* in our current society. Not sure how you would rank one versus the other. I guess I might say the average police officer provides more benefits to society than the average engineer, but I’m not sure.
