I think the argument is that one set of roles is highly skilled and requires a lot of education & investment in money & time to get to a $40-50k "apprenticeship" -- the other set of roles is not.

Getting paid equally for both of those positions, regardless of future expectations, indicates that something might be off.

Think of it like grad school cranked to 11. More hours, harder entry requirements, bigger stipend, massive payoff at the end.
