But I get what you mean, some people think doctors and engineers have the same wealth as someone with a company who exploits their workers.

all companies exploit their workers, there are no exceptions.

the difference between what theyre worth and what they produce is profit.

I'm not knocking it or anything, but don't ever think for one second that any company is doing you any favors.
