That's not who would be most affected by a long term trend of high salaries. It's the kids who would go to biz school or wall street or law school (or med school, but that's less of a positive, hah) instead because that's where the money has been in the past.
- phenkdo 7y agoYou are arguing against yourself there. Please define "high salaries". Wall st, Doctors, IT Professionals are already the highest paid professionals, and paid anywhere between 3x to many x more than your typical blue-collar salary. Are you saying this multiple needs be even more for the "kids" to work hard and become scientists, doctors or programmers? I think we all know the answer to that.
