I do not consider myself pro-communist (or anti-communist for that matter) so I will not answer point by point. I would say that your questions could be answered in part by looking at how Cuba has educated and employed its people.


Your focus on doctors was interesting. You see it as a career and not a calling. Healing another human being is a reward in itself.

Inventors will be inventors regardless of whether they are scrubbing toilets or engineers for a living.

Education is a high priority in the communistic philosophy.

You seem to judge incentive in monetary terms. Step back and pretend money does not exist. Would your chosen career change?

As far as spending 10+ years educating ourselves....some of us enjoy learning and don't see it as a sacrifice that requires a reward.
