Most jobs Americans do are not in SW and pay a lot less than SW. Saying an industry won't thrive because the work is hard and the pay is less than SW is silly.

Some people frame this as some kind of character defect on the part of Americans, but to me it just seems like common sense to avoid hard work for low pay, if possible (unless the work is stupendously interesting).
