If you don't pay enough then of course the only remaining incentive is love of children.



It's not an 'incentive' it's a disposition.

Most people don't have 'careers' they have 'jobs' and if they can do something they want to do then that's a bonus for them.

So comp. takes a completely different kind of form there, outside the scope of what we normally consider performance/bonus oriented among professionals.

It's a bit like Nursing, a semi-socialized trade where we establish pay rates via budgets, Unions, a bit of supply and demand etc..
