On a fundamental economic level we can think of this as a negative employment curve: employees are paying for the privilege of entering the tech labor market, rather than employers paying the employees compensation to entice them to join.

Umm, people are paying $35k for an opportunity to break into the lucrative tech job market. Which indicates that the wages must be fairly enticing.

Lots of lucrative employment markets cost money to break into. One can't become a doctor, lawyer, dentist, etc without paying for an expensive specialty school.
