The idea that we should be rewarded for doing something hard, regardless of its value, is a consequence of a nation weaned on video games. Navigating a maze may be hard, and you might have a natural talent about it, but the real question is whether that's a skill other people consider worth paying enough for to cover your overhead. The market is voting against History, Journalism, etc. Learn a skill (or build a product) valuable to other people and you'll do fine. Downvoters: I like video games, I just don't expect to payed for my RTS skills.
