There's hard work and then there's hard work. There's work that's hard on your body, but is simple to do. Then there's work that's easy on your body, but is difficult to do. (Also, easy on the body/simple, and hard on your body and difficult, but in this case, they're not relevant) Running cable, carting machines, and all the other stuff done by the bottom tier of IT is stuff more people are capable of doing. It's simpler. Designing the network, the software, etc is more difficult, not everyone can do it. And those people who went to college then straight into a six figure job do know how the world works. Or at least a part of it. Because that's how it worked for them. It did work. They were not wrong. They don't know how every part of the world works, though. And neither does the person who makes 30k a year in major American cities. They know how that part works.
