The strangest thing is, the pay is inversely proportional to how hard the job is. If you spend all your working day picking up stuff until your back breaks, you can expect a minimum wage in some parts of the world. If you spend your day sitting in front of a computer tapping at a keyboard, you can expect - well, a lot of money, comparatively. Even more if you spend your day talking on the phone and meeting people.

It's topsy-turvy and the people at the high end of the wage scale have very well honed excuses: "but, I have specialised knowledge that I worked very hard to acquire" etc.

Well, I got specialised knowledge that it took me a long time and effort to acquire. It's still unfair that the people who make the stuff I eat, the stuff I wear, the stuff I use to acquire that specialised knowledge are paid a pittance and I can live comofortably off their backs, really.

The world is such an unfair place and the people who benefit from that the most aren't even aware of it.
