I don't think millions of people are thinking "well, I could make lots of money in software ... but management pays much better if I get one of those jobs ... so I better go into [unrelated, lower paying field]".
What I'm trying to say is that software is very attractive compared to other jobs, but still we don't see everyone rushing into it. I believe that's because money isn't the factor.

It's only FAANG and a few companies that pay well, and they are only located in the most expensive cities in the world (Silicon Valley, New York). Guess what, there's plenty of other high paying jobs in these locations. If anything, the highest paid job is management, across all industries, because it's always better paid than the people underneath.
