    The sheer volume of people I’ve encountered through numerous jobs that are on high wages but lack basic skills astounds me.

      They have other skills you don’t have, that are more important for those high paying jobs.

      Like faking genuine interest in the shit their higher-ups blather on about, convincingly laughing at racist and misogynist jokes, backstabbing their peers when a position opens up, and doing the most demeaning tasks with a smile and a “thank you”.
