It's greed, reckless and a total lack of conscience which is rewarded.

I thought engineers and doctors were the better paid professions

Artists are incredibly well paid off you get to the top of the game, like Taylor Swift or Spielberg

Not sure why you think labourers are harder working than artists or engineers

And some of the wealthiest people alive are also some of the dumbest losers I've ever heard open their mouths.

Doctors can do well, but I've never heard of a billionaire doctor. Engineers do well, but they're not billionaires. Both doctors and engineers work hard, but not in the same physically demanding, body-harming way that laborers work. Laborers can even be paid deceptively well, with construction labor sometimes paying something like triple the minimum wage. But the cost to the laborer is paid with body breaking down, and you can bet that job-site they're contracted for doesn't provide health insurance. So they accumulate injury, breaking down their body, thus limiting how much of that physically taxing job they can do. So, in effect, they're not being paid nearly enough. Because the pay doesn't compensate their loss of bodily function. Think of it like an NFL defensive lineman. They're paid very well, but their body takes a huge toll. A lot of former NFL players are not doing well, despite their huge initial earnings.

Just to add in, that a CEO definitely doesn't work as hard as their hardest working employee, and the avg. CEO pay is roughly 325 times that of their average worker.

Can we call them what they are; physicians. Calling them doctors undermines anyone with a Ph.D.

Their salaries are great in America but only as good as finance professionals, who are then in the system of money manipulation (not saying they're all crooks) and hence receive pointers on how to re-invest their wealth; Doctors and engineers on the other hand are often too busy to even think about investment, making more money from their money.
