OR they have incredibly niche skills that are extremely hard to obtain and maintain.
The part that makes me think certain forms of leftism are really foolish is that they count on people not wanting to be compensated for the greater amount of harder work or risks they are willing to take on. People don’t work like that.
Maybe those skills shouldn’t be so incredibly niche, then. Almost like we should be encouraging people to develop them instead of locking them behind a paywall.
The overwhelming majority of people would not be capable due to their mental acuity and/or ability to engage in fine motor skills. Money isn’t as big of a factor in this case and having less informed and skilled spinal surgeons wouldn’t he a great thing.
The more intelligent choice is to not set such a low wage cap as it achieves nothing to begin with and addresses no problems.
The risk to even get to that level was incredibly high as well. Medical school bills are no joke and you don’t know you’re going to become some top notch surgeon by the end, you might just wash out and be swimming in debt.
Education being risky is a feature of capitalism. A sane economic system would not require someone to go into debt to learn a valuable skill.
