How would this avoid (a) and (b) though? Your society needs to somehow balance what jobs people do. There is no real way to measure how difficult a job is. You could argue that hard manual labor is a very difficult job, yet there are many people who prefer that to sitting down, learning a lot and then doing a mentally exhausting desk job. The willingness of people to do a job needs to be accounted for when you're deciding whether a job is difficult or not, but this very much depends on the person. How would you account for this without looking at how difficult it is to replace a person doing a specific job?
