>You realize wages based on supply and demand are very accurate at measuring exactly how much value to “society” a job brings?
If that were true, then DMV employees would have to pay for the privilege of working there.
In all seriousness, though, there are huge swathes of people working in bullshit jobs, and many of them are well-compensated. There are power dynamics, misinformation and far too much complexity at play to simply say "society places more value on the work performed by people in higher paying jobs".
