What is a person's value?

I saw this on FaceBook]

There's an underlying theme here I've seen with others. We have become a society obsessed with money, as if it is the sole indicator of the true value of an individual. "What do you make?" translates into "What do you earn?" not "What do you create?" or "How do you make a difference in the world?". It's a society that denigrates creativity, skill, hard work and a commitment to teach in favor of marketing savvy, the ability to lie effectively, and profound selfishness. Until we as a society are willing to make artists, firefighters, teachers, scientists, and craftsman heroes rather than servants, we are doomed to be a servant economy.
