Sadly they often desire their particular position because of the power or prestige or money associated with it, not because of the opportunity it provides to serve the community. MPs say one thing and do another and use their position to make themselves rich. Businessmen often pay themselves millions of pounds a year when they were very rich anyway and make hundreds of their workers lose their jobs just so their company makes a big profit and they get a big bonus they don't need. Some soccer players earn more in a week than a teacher does in a whole year and they only play once a week. The most important single profession for the future of our civilisation is teaching.
Education is the only hope for our future.
If we get it wrong there will not be much of a future. It's not wrong to be rich, provided you use your money to do good works or build fine buildings, rather than spend it on yachts, jewellery and apartments all over the world, especially when half the people in the world are starving. People such as MPs are in a particularly privileged position - that of having been elected to help run the country, and their behaviour should be absolutely beyond reproach. Similarly businessmen should not seek or accept enormous rewards for what is really no more than a fair effort, and sportsmen should set an example of true sportsmanship and accept just a fair reward for their efforts. But what can we do about it if these privileged people do not behave as they should, or demand enormous rewards.
