Professional athletes are getting paid more and more as time goes by, before it was $4.7 million now it’s more than $85 million and growing. While people in the U.S. don’t have enough food to eat and the police officers and fire fighters that put their lives at risk everyday don’t even get a quarter of that. Let’s take school teachers for an example they get $38,000 per year, well at least in the U.S. While the minimum starting salary for a basketball player, football player, hockey player and baseball player starts at around $109,000. Don’t you think

He operates 300 days per year and has found that an order must be placed with his supplier 6 working days before he can expect to receive that order. For this subassembly, find: a) Economic order quantity. b) Annual holding cost.
To many, myself included, attending college is now a luxury. Like any luxury, one must ask themselves: Is it worth it? Is going into debt worth getting a degree? We’re paying for a lot more than just a piece of paper that says we were able to withstand years of tedious work. We’re also paying for the opportunity to become independent and create memories that will last us a lifetime, also known as living on campus.
According to the U.S Census Bureau, college graduates that earn an advance degree (higher than a bachelor’s degree) will earn more than a million dollars more than a high school graduate that didn’t go to college over the course of 40 years. This means that a college graduate is able to go on trips, and have a nice car because their job pays more which means that they have a little extra money that they can spend on fun things/activities. For example, Grace Nicholson a close family friend struggled with not making enough money because she hadn’t graduated from college. She and her family were on foods stamps. They needed help paying their bills and they didn’t even have health insurance.
Still others state that only a small percentage of these colleges and universities make a profit from their athletic programs, most actually lose money (Bienen). For those athletes whose names and numbers are popular, significant revenue is generated and it is illegal for them to profit in any way from it. These are some of the issues involved in the controversy. One of the economic issues surrounding this issue relate to whether the scholarship, and the additional benefits received from playing at these institutions brings, is considered itself a form of payment (Dorfman). Aside from room, board, books, and tutoring, these athletes receive top coaching, training, and often exposure for a possible professional athletic career.
Many people every day wonder the question, “Are pro athletes over-paid?” The answer to that question is simply, yes. The salaries of the professional athletes playing the game today are out of control. The effects that is has on the game is not nearly as bad as the effects that it deals on the players. Once upon a time athletes were not paid amounts of money nearly this large for their physical abilities. Instead they worked more than one job, lived a completely normal life, and simply played the sport they played for a hobby.
In the article “What’s Wrong With Vocational School” written by Charles Murray, he gives his opinion about the unnecessary of four year college’s program compares to vocational training. I find this article have some very interesting ideas which I both agree and disagree I agree with his statement in the fourth paragraph about how many students attend college because their parents are paying for it and it is what they supposed to do after their finish high school. Many students do not have any real goals or any ideas of what they are going to do for their life, but going to a four year college is an obligation because their parents have spent so much money for them through high school, and now college. Automatically, their job is to do well in school and finish with a four year degree so that they can be prepared for their future without the supporting from their parents. This is a common sense that many of us all know as an adult; yet not all young people understand this fact.
Salaries of Professional Athletes Philip Bruce (200217750) COMM1000-12S-30017 Robin Parkes Wednesday, August 8 2012 Salaries of Professional Athletes Should professional athletes be paid so much higher than other professionals? Why is it that doctors, firemen, teachers and others who save lives and sacrifice so much have to work so hard for their everyday living and get paid much less than pro-athletes? In an age of increasing income disparity and hardships for many, this poses a question about logic and morality. Pro-athletes are simply engaged in a fun sport and likely doing what they love best. Should they be paid that high?
I have always worked in factories or retail, so getting an Associate’s Degree in the medical field was a complete 360 for me. In January 2010, I had signed my name on the dotted line for financial aid called Pell Grants to help me afford my education. When I started my classes they seemed to be so difficult I asked myself can I really do this. As time went on my new career goals seemed to settle down. I had my ups and downs, while attending Medtech College.
The financial conditions of my home did not allow me to go for a bachelor’s degree at that time as it was very expensive as we all were in nursing school at the same time. So I decided to go for my Associate Degree first and then move on. Marriage, relocation to USA, kids and so forth and on, pushed my BSN degree this far. Although being a nursing student was a bit of a challenge, the strong determination in my mind pulled me through the course .I loved the neuro- surgical /trauma ICU the best during my clinical rotations. So soon after my graduation, the hospital gave me the choice to decide where I would like to work and I decided to go for neurosurgery.
