Ielts Essay Entertainers and Money

Astronomical earnings of entertainers and sports stars have been under critical scanner doe quite some time now, as some feel that these people earn much more than they are worthy of. I disagree with this notion completely even though I do feel that professionals in other occupations could be compensated better than what they are getting currently.

Despite a general belief that money being received by ones involved in sports or entertainment field being unjustifiably high, it is never enough for ensuring their future: entertainers are engaged in occupations that are known for their volatility. The opportunities available to them to make some money are extremely limited  and exposed to uncertainty. Entertainers losing charisma, and  sports personnel getting injured or going out of form may abruptly bring their careers to an abrupt end; they might end up languishing in poverty.

However, there are certain sections that find little rationale in performers and sports personnel in getting humungous amounts of money. Their view rests on their belief that entertainment and sports is of little consequence to the society. Whatever entertainers do is only for their self consumption and does not bring any kind of benefits. Such astronomical sums of money is sheer wastage, and much more than what should be paid.

There are though certain occupations which are worthy of being compensated better: teachers, researchers, medical professionals and soldiers to name a few. These professionals make personal sacrifices for the good of society. Their contributions to their fields have been substantial even though they have stayed away from the limelight.

To sum up, in spite of all the derision, the money being made by those involved entertainment and sports are not as high as common perceptions.
