Yes I'd love it if they had the training to get good jobs, and the great news there is -- they've already been there and done it! :)
Yes I'd absolutely give up some of my salary, assuming it's a fair question and not "haha well you wouldn't give up half of your salary to hire someone so I'm right" yea I don't give up half my salary to pave the roads either, it's a group effort!
- cudgy 5y agoMust be nice living in a utopian society where physical jobs pay as well as knowledge workers. In such a place, your community can easily give up some of their salary. Not sure your community is representative of most in the world however.
- corobo 5y agoI feel like you've deliberately missed the point at multiple levels to get some snark in so just to jump right to the core: Silicon Valley salary is the utopian society you're so snarkily describing, and as OP has pointed out it's coming to an end. The majority of the world is not on SV wages, so yeah they pay "as well as knowledge workers" in that none of the above pays nearly as much as you're thinking outside of your utopian society bubble. Trade jobs (electrician, plumber, etc) can earn equivalent or more in the real world :)
