ok, who will do the jobs they leave behind?
the phrase "low-skills" was conjured up to justify low pay.
Exactly.
Entry level people in my field (Product side of Software, not Engineering) make 90k. I could teach a McDonald's cashier the job in 3 months where it would probably take me 6 or more to teach a professional accountant.
Why? Because the McDonald's cashier has SKILLS. Utilizing empathy, being humble, being a good team member, being presented with and solving problems on the fly, prioritization, customer service. And there's way more.
It's just that people don't want to recognize nor attribute value to them. Therefore they get kept out of the corner office jobs.
