As an engineer my salary is frozen in 1998, technical salaries have been effectively frozen so long that my salary thinks Biggie and Tupac are still the big thing. It doesn't matter how rare the technical skills there's a hard ceiling on income coupled with high cost of living and you work 100 hours a week but still have to go hungry on some days. Salaries are frozen in time for the benefit of the thin layer of people who own other people for a living.
