There's a deep love for cooking in many people, raising the de facto salary of being a chef. For the most devoted it raises it astronomically high. So competition drives down prices in the only way it can-- nominally and through intangibles like negative perks and job security. You can see at jobs where it's the opposite those same things are through the roof.
- gernb 4y agoI agree with this. There was an NPR piece https://www.npr.org/transcripts/15732097 https://www.npr.org/transcripts/15732097 Where a girl goes to Paris to learn to cook thinking it will be glamorous like the movie Sabrina and instead it's like military drilling to be efficient but even with all of that she says feeding people makes you feel like a god. I think the concept is similar for software engineering. Not feeling like a god but some people think "how could you possibly stare at a computer screen for so many hours a day. Sounds mind numbingly boring" where as to some software engineers it's the most creatively freeing environment there is and they thrive in it.
