The building blocks of our society are teachers, doctors and nurses, but unfortunately paid peanuts, but in the corporate world people earn almost double than them. The transmutation of our society also means the new jobs opportunities which people choose for today. But the traditional careers such as becoming doctors, teachers and nurses are still very popular with young people only because of the opportunities for helping people directly. But the lucrative salaries and world-class working environment attract the younger generations and naturally it has opened a new avenue in the professional world. Moreover, the increasing influence of businesses, sports and media in the corporate world raise the importance of the corporate world.
The building blocks of our society are paid a lower salary. Our nation is suffering the shortage of teachers and professors in its educational institutions only because of its lower salary. Though the medical professions are popular career options for people since ages, a large number of the excellent doctors join private hospitals or try for higher remuneration in the western countries like the USA, UK, Canada, etc. while the minimum number are seen in small nursing homes or inefficient government hospitals.
Whereas nursing is a crucial element of health industry, the government has not given importance without an aid to the doctor. Nurses are crucial for both war patients and general patients. So, the well-trained and excellent nurses too try their luck in the western countries for better salary with higher remuneration and world-class working environments. As a consequence, India is also lacking well-trained nurses.
The corporate world and entertainment industry of the country has earned great importance and naturally a large amount of money is being invested in the fields of movies, advertisements and even in sports tournaments. The government has not taken any such attempt that ensures the lucrative pay packages for the building blocks of the society with a view to encouraging people to take up these careers.
We have no fundamental system for deciding the remuneration in various spheres of professions, but there is a need to standardise the wages or remuneration for the professions such as medicine, nursing or teaching. Due to our own negligence of acknowledging the importance of people engaged in these professions, the significance related with these professions is being lost. A quick buck is spent on a movie or a show or even for providing a television but we hardly think when we consult a doctor or even look a good teacher for the child.
