What should i search when looking in theories on how a fireman should get a higher wage than an actor?

first of all, yes, a Firefighter, Paramedic, Police Officer should get paid more then an actor/singer but it would never happen. Towns and Cities don't have the money to pay them more then successful actors/singers. Second, comparing pay of Firefighters and Actors to workers and their bosses doesn't work. The Boss gets more money because he has more education, more experience, and/or more responsibiity. If workers got paid more money then the Boss who has more to do since he's in charge of all the workers, then the Boss would have no incentive to do his job since all the workers get paid more then he does. Furthermore, there is no incentive for the workers to do a good job and move up in the ranks to get higher pay since they would be taking a pay cut if they were promoted to the Boss position. I think you need another angle for your paper.

Many, many years ago, I once had a boss tell me that he expected more from his better employees than his slackers.  Not fair, but I can understand the reasoning behind it and I also think kinda the same way because some people have more talent or abilities than others and more should be expected of them. Boy, I'm going to get into trouble for this!! What I liked about him  was that he was honest about it.  \n\nNowadays, it seems we have to be careful about everything we say. Where is this screwy country headed? Things like the above could be grounds for a lawsuit I suppose.

I understand firefighters are paid different amounts in different cities.  Because of this some firefighters might actual make a wage that is fair considering what firefighters do.\n\nFirefighters have very unusualy hours.  Sometimes working 48 hours straight.  They must put their life on the line when called to protect others.

I think logic would tell that what they just did was wrong, unethical and more than likely ILLEGAL.\nYou can't promise a person this wage, and then change it. That'd be like me hiring you, promising you 10 bucks an hour and then you find out that you are only making 8.50..\n\nThey can't rip you off like that. It's an injustice! Fight the power!\n\nSeriously. Go get your money that you worked hard for, and deserve.

I suggest you check with Underwriters Laboratory. They usually do the fire rating tests in the US.

Not enough!  These guys/gals are hero's! And only get paid squat!  For the life of me, I cant figure out why the fire dept./ police/EMT/ and school teachers are paid so little.  These are the people that should be making the big bucks!

If you really want to wow your teacher, look up the standard answer to this question.  It involves the number of hours worked and how much square feet of housing you can afford.  Over the long haul, you seem to get a lot more for your money.\n\nI personally just can't believe it, but all the math says it is very true.  I tend to think that the price of a home has gone up in terms of hours worked over the past few years.  Nobody I know is getting a 20% pay raise every year and they certainly are not spending 20% less in gas.  But interest rates are low, so you would think that would have an effect on the payment.  Ask your math teacher (cite it as an "interview" in your paper) if there is some miracle of finance that reduces your payment in spite of a 20% increase in what you borrow.  The answer is, "NO!"  If the price of a home goes up 20%, your payment will go up 20%, all else being equal.  A good thing to research would be how has a house payment changed over time.  But see, everything else changes too (like the value of a dollar, interest rates, what kind of house you get) so this is actually a very difficult thing to track.\n\nI think for these kinds of papers, though, you want to pick a side of the debate and stick to just that side.

Hi, \nI only know the answer to this because we were just in Florida last week. My hubby is a firefighter here in Massachusetts and we stopped at a Ft. Myers firehouse to look around and ask questions. Hubby has "firehouse" envy!!\n\nGo to this website www.floridafirejobs.org and it will walk you through the process. I can tell you if you're a Paramedic...you're IN!! They're desperate for medics down there. The pay is good too considering it's Florida. I hope this helps!!\nStephany

I should think they're both on about minimum wage.  Tips would depend on how good you are!

When the government sets a value for something, rather than the free market, there will be consequences. When you raise the minimum wage, you do two things. One, you make the cost of unskilled labor rise, sometimes higher than the actual value of the labor. Two, you devalue the people who have proven that they are worth more.\n\nIf I am paying a person $ 6.00 per hour, that is what he is worth to me. If he can find a job paying more, he is free to do so with my blessing! \n\nLook at this situation, for an example:\n\nI have two workers. One I hired last month, and am paying $6.00 per hour. He is still learning the job, and I have to spend time training him! The other worker has been with me for a year, and is making $7.00 per hour. They both do the type of work, but the second worker is more valuable to me, because he is trained!\n\nIf the minimum wage is raised to $ 7.25 per hour, I have to make a business decision. I will have to raise the  pay of both employees to $7.25. The new guy is not woth that to me, so he is going to be laid off. My other worker will be given the raise, but he will actually be going backwards in reality. He had worked his way up to a higher pay rate, but now is back to minimum. Prices will go up, but his real pay  (in relation to the cost of living) will go down.\n\nIf a $7.25 minimum wage is good, why not raise it more. Why not $17.25? Why not $172.50?

they're easy to find.  I would link you, but I'm at work and would rather not get fired  ;)\n\nGoogle "phone actor" or "Phone sex" employment.  I know there's a website to get you started.  Also, I saw an ad for it on Craig's List, so you might want to check that out.  Also, the classifieds in the newspaper have ads for phone actors.

First off you've got to have adequate funds to attract this person to perform for you. Secondly you must call this person's agent-or simply an agency that deals with stars and their performances. Once you get in that door, the dollars help you get the rest of the way.

Ahhh, an artist.  Kinsman, of sorts.  My advice, take the decent-paying job.  Use it---buy oils, pastels, canvas, and all your supplies that it will take to get enough work together that you can have a show if someone "discovers" you.   Who knows:  There may be a person in that company's marketing department looking for an artist's work for the corporate building foyer!  You never know what people you will meet outside you studio that will help you get a show for you work.\n\nSometimes we have to eat turnips to stay alive long enough to appreciate the greens.\n\nBeing a starving artist on television is romantic.  Being one in real life is next to impossible in this day and age.  Use the  job as a means to your artistic "end."  Just think of all the inspiration you can get even on a boring 9-to-5 job!  The faces of the robot people grinding it out, day after day; the colors in the huge windows that wrap the concrete in pseudo-serenity!  The wonderful sounds of paper and machines biting at the air.  My goodness.....what a resource.\n\nUse the job----do your best at it (don't be a thief of your employer's wages).  But know that while you're there, you're working toward a dream---a goal.   There's nothing wrong with that!\n\n"Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things." ~ Edgar Degas\n\n\nGood luck!!!

Tough question! \n\nA decent wage depends upon where the man lives and the cost of living in that area, whether he has to support a family, the number of debts and expenses he has, and the lifestyle to which he is accustomed.\n\nA decent wage in some parts of California would be grossly indecent in San Francisco for example. \n\nA decent wage is whatever will allow a person to live, to meet obligations, and to recreate reasonably without undue fear of going into debt if he misses a paycheck or two. Just my thought!
