Which of the following professions should be paid the highest salary: nurse, policeman, or teacher? Choose one and explain why.
下列哪个职业的薪水应该更高：护士、警察和教师？。选择一个并解释原因。
I think nurses should receive higher salaries for the following reasons.
First of all, when you visit a doctor, hospital or emergency room, you may notice how responsible your nurse is. They assist in many aspects of patient care from dispensing medicine to drawing blood, or just simply talking with patients and making them feel more comfortable. It is clear to me that the poor salaries of nurses do not accurately reflect their heavy workloads.
Secondly, nurses also have extensive educational requirements. They may need to achieve an education level ranging from a specialty diploma to a specialized graduate education. Sometimes a nurse practitioner has responsibilities similar to those of a doctor. So her schooling may involve between six to eight years of post-secondary education.
Evidently, nursing is a job that may just deserve higher pay.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/busi...I think teacher should be paid a higher salary. As everybody knows, education is of great importance, and teachers are the people who impart knowledge and skills, without whom there won’t be education. The knowledge passed on by teachers makes our world better, without teacher, our science and technology can’t develop, and people’s conscience can’t be advocated. Nurse and policeman are important jobs too, but they are not as important as teacher. Let’s imagine such a world, where science and technology is advanced enough that there are robots serve as nurses and policemen, besides, the patients will be fewer and the crime rate is lower thanks to the development of productive forces. People won’t achieve such things without teachers. That’s why I think teacher should be paid a higher salary.

The reasons for paying teachers more include the potential increase in teacher satisfaction, the attraction of higher-quality candidates to teaching positions, incentives for teachers to pursue continued higher education and the elimination of the need for teachers to obtain secondary jobs.
When teachers earn more money, their job satisfaction increases and they are more likely to give their best efforts in the classroom. Higher salaries also attract teachers with better credentials, experience and education, which increases the quality of education. Teachers are also more likely to pursue graduate degrees when they know they will be rewarded with higher pay. Low salaries often discourage young professionals from pursuing teaching careers because they can earn considerably higher salaries in other industries.
Additionally, more than 60 percent of teachers hold secondary jobs to support themselves and their families, according to the New York Times. They might tutor students on the side, teach at night schools at the college level or hold jobs in restaurants.
