I don't think doctors fit in that group. They are paid well, and respected, far more than nurses on both accounts.

    Yea, but that doesn't fit OP's childlike view of the world so shut up, nerd!

    Where I live, we've been treating...

    • Nurses very poorly. Underpaying and overworking them, while not training enough new ones.
    • Family Doctors (aka. GPs) very poorly by removing the kinds of services they're allowed to provide, increasing expenses without increasing compensation, and again, not training enough new ones.

    Doctors are paid well, but they also have incredibly high expenses (and often high student debt, too).

    What “childlike view”? Do you remember which jobs were considered “essential” during COVID-19 or were you too young?

    I sure do. Of course doctors and nurses were essential because it was a health crisis. But it was grocery store workers, Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers because people are idiots and think stuff like that mattered. I remember sports teams and reality TV contestants being put in quarantine so they could safely compete. I remember it wasn't teachers, as classes were canceled before going online only for about a year and a half.

    So what's your point?
