To believe that some professions deserve higher pay than others, regardless of education?

I think it’s time we recognise that some jobs require unique skills or are more essential than others, even if they don’t require a degree. Is it wrong to believe that certain professions should be paid more simply based on their impact?

And, here hoping, that UK will become again a main manufacturer and that we will make our own goods like in the good old days. I think it is much more sustainable if each country manufacturers their own daily goods. If we carry out like this, we will not even have one person in UK that knows how to make a spoon or be able to afford to import a spoon!

Fine. But with all of the employment taxes and costs of decent working conditions and much higher hourly labour costs than the countries where most of the goods you use are manufactured currently (whose employees could only dream of the UK minimum hourly wage as a daily rate) you'll need to pay many multiples of what you do now for all of the things you purchase.
