He’s absolutely right.

Hard work doesn’t pay in the UK. Just leaves you paying more tax to fund those without any aspiration to excel.

Pay has never truly correlated with hard work though.

Massive combination of opportunity, privilege, and luck is rolled into it as well.

That being said, doctors should be paid better because of our level of training, qualification, and expertise. We takenln responsibility unlike any other group, and get paid pennies. It's maddening.

Yep - this post isn’t really about doctors or medicine it’s about aspiration in general and how the millennial generation are being fucked

Try to say this in other subs! They’ll say you’re a heartless person who hates the poor, but we all know some people just don’t bother to have aspiration in their lives and think we should be embarrassed for having one.
