To the editor:

In many media outlets the continuous emphasis is on the celebrity events of those men and women who have special talents in sports, entertainment, business or politics, and earn a very large income. This has distorted the career goals of many young Americans as the only worthwhile means to earn a higher standard of living. Rarely do we read, hear or see of the daily contributions of hard-working and sincere laypeople who have given this country one of the highest standards of living.
