The Entertainment Industry

It is obvious that the entertainment world is paid very well. Entertainers get paid ten times more than any hard working citizen in this here United States. Of course any 'Plain Jane' is going to complain about the fact that they get paid more for having fun. One could think that they get paid what they do because of they risks they took throughout their life to get to where they are now. Hilary Swank lived a cold hard life making who she is now. She risked everything she had, all for the love of acting and entertaining. But here we are, all the 'Plane Jane's', living paycheck to paycheck. That's risky enough for us.
Risky enough for us who have finished high school and college, living life the correct way. Studying hard and getting the grades benefit greatly in getting to where we want to be. It is unfair to judge these spectacular athletes for dropping out of college , while our movie star friends haven't even finished high school. These athlete's are going to college to wishing to be the next LeBron Jemes and when the opportunity comes, naturally they will jump at it. Key idea being, "when the opportunity comes". Movie stars drop out of high school hoping to be the next Hilary Swank, risking it all for the big times, having no guarantees. Athletes have the decency to finish high school and get accepted to college, even if it might only be for the talent.
These entertainers get paid and use the money to look better in the public eye. Self-enhancing products, whether it be cosmetically or in performance, are very common in stars. Cosmetic surgery and performance-enhancing products are basically the same. Both products are helping star's career's, whether it be performing better on the field or looking better in front of the camera, its cheating. Athletes definitely have more of a risk though. Using steroids and such can hurt one's body immensely.
Overall, entertainers get paid way more than they should. They live this luxurious life while people are starving on the streets. Yes, there may be those selective few good hearted starlets that give to the needy, but no one needs to live the way they live. It is simply unnecessary. Even so, without them our nation would be a totally different place. Athlete's should most definitely get paid the same as movie stars, if anything they work harder and are more realistic, seeing how they are more grounded than any young starlet in Hollywood. Movie stars live in their own little picture perfect world getting caught up in their movies, pretending to be someone they're not. They waste their money on outrageously priced commercial products and make fools of themselves in front of the camera just to get attention. At the same time, we're suckered into it, watching ET and The Insider every night at seven o'clock. Entertainers should all get paid the same ridiculous amounts of money, because they all are in the industry for the same reason, to entertain us.
