Hands or brain ?

[peterperfection]

Does anyone agree that these days it is easier to make money by using your brain- rather than your hands ?.

Everyone has a pair of hands. And unless you're very, VERY good at what you do there's often a machine which can produce your work better and cheaper.

Relatively few can actually think coherently.

Dentists/Doctors/Surgeons and Vets don't seem to be short of a bob or two using them.

It mat seem easier to make money with your brain but I would rather go home at the end of a working day tired from physical exertion than mental stress. I've done both, believe me, you can keep the stress job!

Have to agree totally.

Physical tiredness helps us sleep.

If you can use your hands, you must have a good brain.

Does that make me a clever winker?

I think pick pockets have the highest earnings per hour, pretty useless without hands.

yes but without the knowledge of dentistry / anatomy (human and animal) etc, the money wouldn't be there...
would you pay me the same rate as a surgeon to remove your gall bladder even if I was a concert pianist ( displaying a higher / similar level of manual dexterity but none of the knowledge )?

Do you mean using your brain a lot or a little and your hands for skilled or unskilled work?or am I just being a pedant
