Pay Equal?

We all have our opinions, and I'm in support of the idea that it's not ideal for every worker in an organisation or in a country to have equal pay. In fact, I've never thought of this or been in an argument where such is being dragged; it sounds funny to me.

I don't know if there's any part of the world that equal pay for all workers is being practiced, which I highly doubt because from the way the world was designed by our creator, He made it that, there will always be the poor in our midst, which implies that no matter what, all of us can never be balanced in a certain stage, and this goes along with the economic principle of demand and supply. If everyone gets equal pay, then the economic world remains stagnant, and almost everyone of us will have the same investment power. If we all invest at the same level, who will patronise each other?

Some years back, when I used to go out to hustle with bricklayers as a helper (I supply materials like concretes and blocks to the Masons), I never dragged equal pay with them, it was unreasonable to share the same pay with them because they have the professional knowledge while ours(helpers) are just to play according to their instructions.
If we receive equal pay with them it'll turn their sacrifices in becoming Masons into futility. With this effect, absolutely no one would go and pass through the hurdles of becoming a mason.

This same thing applies to all sectors; you can't expect a doctor in the hospital to receive the same salary as the cleaners in the hospital. The years of study and money involved for someone to become a doctor are not a child's play and can't be compared to someone who got employed with a high school certificate that's worth below $100 (pls, it's an assumption).
If it becomes like this, then we wouldn't see anyone in the school spending that much to become a doctor. Everyone will throw away their schooling desire into thin air once the high-level certificate is achieved.

Some years back, when I worked in an eatery, during the interview, I asked the interviewer the amount to be paid, which was a bit okay, but I pushed further to check the salaries of the salespeople. That's because I can't be seen earning the same salaries as a sales rep because my work is delicate, coupled with the fact that I applied with an upper certificate.

In the aspect of promotion; There won't be any need to aim at getting promoted because if one gets there, there's not going to be any addition—maybe just a title, which doesn't count to me. When people are not working to get promoted, the input (effort) of the system drops, which eventually affects productivity.

The one spot where I would agree for equal payment is when it comes to gender. To me, both genders should be entitled to equal pay if they can only meet the work requirements. If a woman works with the pace of a man, let her receive the same payment.
In the city where I currently reside, women are the backbone of the house; women go for bricklaying work, and it baffles me a lot. These people deserve the same pay as men in those settings.

Just like I said earlier, equal payment is not feasible at all, but to balance things up, let the terms be defined. Terms such as once someone meets a requirement for bigger pay or promotion, such a person should not be denied.
With this, everyone will keep pushing to get there and make life better.
