Okay a CEO making a million dollars a year while going to conventions, fancy luncheons, corporate jet rides, not to mention probably having an executive staff to do most of the heavy lifting compared to slapping two pieces of beef between a bun for minimum wage would be an easy choice for anyone as far as future employment goes. The pay descrepancy is a tad mind boggling when you consider the difference. I've only been exposed to a handful of CEOs in my lifetime but they were all clearly in it for themselves and only only one worked hard to get it.
Most of the low paying people I've known had two basic problems. They hadn't had the education and they didn't have the heart (or lack thereof) to be the landsharks you need to be to be a truly megasuccessful CEO.
So how do you resolve the pay problem? Why does being pampered like the royalty of a small country pay so much more than wading through chicken guts? Well partly because the wealthy influence how you think, but also because there is no simple metric you can apply to determine what a job should pay - well at least one that we are using. Until now.
I propose that pay be based on calories burned per hour.
That's right. If you sit on your ass all day in front of a computer you won't make as much as that waitress running back and forth taking crap off of irate customers. If your life is filled with jets and limos and work-paid-for meals - well you could end up owing money because you are taking in MORE calories than you are burning. That's right NO pay for going to the gym AFTER work.
Now you may say this would be nearly impossible to implement but every piece of exercise equipment I've bought and ignored in the past few months has a dohicky you clip on your finger or your ear lobe to tell how many calories you are burning. So this should be cake.
Think about it.
