I begrudgingly agree. It is similar to me to a star athlete making millions. Most people aren't happy that we value athletes over teachers, but free market, yada yada yada. I get paid well to solve puzzles every day. It's fun, and I can buy groceries without using a credit card.

Supply is out-stripping demand for PhDs, so prices fall. tl;dr - Go short on PhD salaries!
