Yes, damn those selfish teachers and nurses for choosing to something that they a) are good at, and b) enjoy.

Perhaps we should force children to do the same job as their parents when they grow up to maintain the correct distribution of workers to jobs?

Doing something that you're good at and that you enjoy is great, but it's not necessarily enough if you want to get paid. You also have to do something that other people want enough to pay you! Fortunately, humans are conceptual beings, and everyone is capable of doing at least some variety of things.

There is no right of stagnation. No one should be forced by law to pay anyone against their will, or to pay more than they agree to privately.
