#4) What do you think of a utility argument for professional sports salaries vs. teachers? Steph Curry may add 10 cents to the value of each basketball game, but 5 million people watch it, so $500,000.

Meanwhile, a student may value the education gained from a teacher at $2,000 (vastly more than the 10 cents), but they usually only teach roughly 25 people at the same time, thus $50,000.
