Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : I make $24/hr as an EMT which is way less than I'm worth with 19 years of experience. I have a philosophy that one should put X% of effort into their job, where X% is the ratio of how much they're paid to how much they're worth. So if I'm worth $31/hr, I should put 77% effort into my job. But that's unfair to the children who need my help.

I'd only put in 77% of effort if there's a net societal benefit to the person dying. That usually means if the person is an organ donor. Every time an organ donor dies, their organs go on to save up to eight lives. Why put 100% effort into a net loss of seven lives, especially when I'm not being paid enough?
