If you artificially increase the price that someone must pay for something, than either (a) fewer people will make any attempt to buy it; or (b) you'll get a glut of sellers trying to make that buck.
The OP seems to want us to artificially increase the price for certain types of labor. The result will be either that fewer of those people will be employed in the end, or that many people will target such careers in order to make the disproportionate pay.
Neither of these outcomes are desirable.
The low wage for these jobs is a signal that we don't need any more of these workers. Folks should take the clue and prepare themselves for different careers.
