"Very few economists have actually attempted to measure the overall
social value of different professions; most would probably take the very
idea as something of a fool’s errand; but those who have tried tend to
confirm that there is indeed an inverse relation between usefulness and
pay."

Via Walter Roberson, Uche Eke and Muse, who added: "This is very much
about class systems."
