Most people look down on butchers (and most other blue collar workers), while idolizing entertainers (and other people who make a lot of money).
"a single entertainer can entertain millions, whereas a single butcher cannot feed nearly as many"
Even per capita, butchers and other blue collar workers are going to be making far less than even a mediocre entertainer. When was the last time you saw an individual pay $30 to $200 (and up) for a butcher to ply his trade?
And yes, you can easily pay between $30 and $200 for a butcher, though usually only hunters and ranchers will know about that: http://ranchersmeat.com/Items.html
Even for those of us who just buy meat, rather than providing our own dead animals to be processed, we probably end up spending more money on meat than on any particular form of entertainment.
