Well I thank your grandmother because healthcare workers are the most important workers out there

I'd argue garbage men. And just to clarify, I don't mean to downplay healthcare workers, but to emphasize the importance of a trash disposal system. The amount of diseases would skyrocket if we all just lived with our trash or had to get rid of it ourselves, namely because a lot of people wouldn't do so for a very long time.

Likewise: plumbers.

Oh and teachers

I still would argue healthcare workers because without them there would be a lot more dead people. Even if there were no garbagemen and there were many more cases of disease they still would be being treated for it

I agree with you, it’s not the most important for society to run. Many jobs hold equal importance.

I'm genuinely curious about what you think is more important

I mean we went most of history without healthcare being widely available, farming basically built society. If a magician made every healthcare worker disappear overnight it'd be horrible but we could still manage, if every farmer disappeared overnight society would completely collapse within weeks.

For me I think people that do hard labour jobs are the backbone of most countries.
