Celebrities

http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/Do_celebrities_deserve_as_much_money_as_they_make_per_movie_or_episode_or_song
On this site it asks if a celebrity deserves what they get, which could be 5 million for a movie that took 4 months of acting and learning scripts. Or if a singer deserves 1 million for only a 12 track CD. Meanwhile an average citezen spends 18 years going through school and thats just through highschool, to get any reasonably paying job one must graduate from highschool then go on to college. Some people study in college for 4 or more years. Some stars don't even finish highschool, let alone college. Once done with college one finds a job which is lucky to pay them 500k. How is that fair?
I could agree that actors work hard on each movie, they have to learn scripts and dedicate much of theyre life to this one movie. But 5 million is a lot of money.
Personally though I don't think that they do deserve it, that a normal citizen with a regular job should earn more then they do since they work harder for what they're getting.
Though at the moment, Stars earn millions, while an average citizen spends most of they're life at a low paying job and struggling for a living.
I chose the site I did above because it states how it seems unfair that stars earn millions in months while a regular person only earns hundreds of thousands in a year. And I believe that it's unfair, celebrity's shouldn't bea ble to do one movie or CD and be able to live the rest of they're life without working ever again, they can have anything they want while my family would have to save for months. On that site some people point out how it is fair, and others point out how it isn't. In ways it is slightly fair, they do work, they don't just sit there and earn money, but they work at something that comes naturaly to them, they didn't have to go to school till they were in their 20s or 30s, while most people do. All they had to do was go to acting school, and since acting is something they love and is natural for them they didn't even probably have to work hard. so I admit, in some ways them making millions is fair, but in many ways is just doesn't seem fair at all.
