Watch the person operating the jackhammer go to a golf course, or watch someone operating a jackhammer and then visit a golf course myself? Your sentence is ambiguous.

Are you trying to say that you think that some manual labor roles are overpaid? Why can't a jackhammer operator play golf if they want to?

In my country an entry level jackhammer operator makes about $60K and an experienced one about $100K. Doesn't sound unreasonable to me.




I meant, compare the incomes of the jackhammer operator, who is working very hard, and the people on the golf course, who are playing golf.


I mean I get your point ... rich and lazy executives often play golf, but my buddy plays golf and he's a manager for a crew at a painting company. Hardly a millionaire. Perhaps you're thinking of private golf courses which are sometimes very expensive. Public ones generally aren't.
