Sorry the school system lied to you, you're supposed to work smart, not hard.

Flipping burgers for 14 hours a day doesn't improve society, which is why it doesn't pay anything. Get a real job if you want to make money. Improve people's lives.

I get paid a lot more than a burger flipper. But I don't think I improve society of makes people's lives better than a burger flipper does.

No, I get paid a lot more because my work allows my boss to make more money per hour of my work than flipping burgers would.
