Why some jobs pay more, sentence 4

Many people feel it is unfair that a nurse who saves lives earns far less than a footballer; others say pay follows what people choose to spend on; both sides have reasons, and the argument goes on.

Who acts: Many people, nurse, others, pay, people, sides · What happens: feel, be, save, earn, say, follow · To what, where: lives, less, reasons · Speech: someone speaks here
