Under capitalism, a lot of the time, highly dangerous jobs are also highly paid. Kind of a balance that the individual decides to engage with. Same idea behind getting an advanced degree in STEM or law. I think of my job by example, I’m a power plant operator at a large combined cycle plant. No fucking shot I’d be doing this if the pay wasn’t good. I’m around explosive and deadly hot shit all day.
Because everyone would have access to the same opportunities and same schools etc. Those with better talents or a better work ethic will probably make more money. Instead of today where families hoard wealth through generations.
So different levels of society make different levels of money, allowing them to afford better qualities of life. You’re talking about capitalism.
The tenets of capitalism say nothing about how much each person makes. Nor do communism. If you’re eager to learn more, read something.
You know what, after reading your and one other user’s comments I’m content with a realistic reasonable answer. Basically, we have no idea what it may look like, but, there will be differences in quality of life depending on chosen profession. I think thats reasonable. All the people saying things along the lines of “they’ll just do really terrible jobs for the love of the game” are what really hurt the legitimacy of you and the other users answer, in my eyes at least.
I think you probably need to educate yourself a bit about some of the words you’re using. What do you think capitalism means? Do you think there’s only one way to have communism? Do you think there cannot be a market economy with communism?
In capitalism as a whole economic mobility is not very prevalent. If you are born poor you generally have a worse education, worse nutrition, worse job prospects, etc
If you are born rich it is orders of magnitude easier to end up in a high paying career since you have a financial support system
The idea here would be to make sure everyone is given the same tools to succeed and the same options. For example anyone who can pass their could go to med school vs only people who can afford to go without a livable income for 13 years while working 60-100 hours weeks
Then you reward people who choose to do things others don’t want to do which is the compromise
You can have that as home as well where the person who cleans the bathroom gets an extra cookie after dinner
This is in huge contrast to capitalism where the owner of the house gets the entire box of cookies and is benevolent enough to spare a pittance of food in exchange for the bathroom being cleaned
Everyone would have their basic needs met, and nobody would have 10,000x what other people have
