Ponderables IV

So I was reading the Parade Magazine in the Sunday missoulian today. One regular article that is run at least once a year or more gives salary amounts of different people in the workforce. Not just famous people but average people too. While reading (I skipped the article and just looked at pictures of people and their job description /$$$)I had a thought cross my mind.

Why do actors get paid more money than people who save lives? Even the President of the United States and his people dont get paid as much!!!

That's really odd.
