(and lets not forget that aside from a few hundred people worldwide then footballers are on fairly average wages, and of course only get that from 20-30 years old and then have no experience or training in any other career).

And to add, as soon as you start taxing the rich to pay the poor, the rich leave. I'd just like to add that wealth must be obtained in a legal and moral way, as long as it is then there should be no limit. I would willingly pay a $million tax every week.
Also, when we talk of worth then why automatically think in purely financial terms? I see job satisfaction and monetary gain as being seperate. Teacher's wages are historically low, presumably their satisfaction lies elsewhere. Surely none of these well educated people would have seen what teachers are being paid, then entered that profession for purely monetary gain?
I have often thought about that myself - 10,000 per week over ten years only equates to an average salary of 100,000pa for the nominal worker. OK so they don't have to put in the full 40 or 50 years but as you said they have no skill to do anything else once they are rendered too old to kick a ball!
generally, pay equals responsibility rather than effort or hours. we live in a democracy which is capitalist. thats pretty much that i'm afraid!
