Why do jobs all pay so little?

>>60518784 (OP)
Because you’re now competing against 1 billion Indians

Don’t you love the free market!

Don't forget the 50 million illegals that steal SS numbers from dead people and the companies allowed loopholes to hire them.

Damn kids these days thinkin they should make a million a year flippin burgers... They only paid me $20/hr pouring concrete in the 80's... I busted my ass and bought a house with that money, somethin you entitled ass BRATS cant wrap your empty heads around... Rubbed elbows with the right guys on the green and now I do sales to top up the 4th house fund... Why don't you damn brats have an ounce of HUSTLE?

If my grand father could make a living, buy a joke and support a family at a no skills factory job than I should be able to also.

So sick of this normalization that things must get crappier as time goes on. Shouldn’t things only get better? Unless of course evil Jews control the world and they hate us.

Buy a joke? Buy a house. Fkn autocorrect retardation

I have no concept of how much jobs actually pay...
On Indeed, it seems like everything pays 45-75k, and requires you to be an absolute master at the top of your craft.
Then according to every online forum, /biz/, reddit, etc, pretty much everyone on the planet except me is making six figures, and kids fresh out of school are starting at like 85-90k.

>>60518784 (OP)
There are two types of jobs nowadays anon.
Either you become a cog of a core part of the techno oligarchic system and get paid 150-200k out of college, which becomes 400-600k by your 10th year, or you work a job that is not part of the techno oligarchic core and take 10 years to make it to 6 figs. There are fewer and fewer jobs that fall between these two groups.

the entire economy is fake they press a button and print more money, they just use it to enslave you, thats it

>>60521193
This. You're a slave. You don't have any meaningful input on the direction of society. Your wage is dependent on external validation. Your life is impossible without the state. Things are worse than they have ever been in human history but you can watch youtube for free mostly.

Because you're not a Petroleum Engineer.

This feels correct. There's basically just a couple tiers and if you can't break out of a tier people will just keep you there.

Tiers:
1. Basic cognitive functions $10-$25/hr - putting stuff in places, driving, talking to people in an almost completely scripted way
2. Ever so slightly specialized work you spent 6 months to maybe 2 years working on or got a shitty degree in, $40k-$80k starting
3. Advanced hyperchad shit. $180k-$250k biglaw, finance bro, tech shit. You take that and then hop correctly and it goes 2-3x each time.

Cognition and specialization have little to do with income outcomes once you reach a certain point.
The traditional engineering fields (mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc) are just as brain demanding or more as software engineering per example, yet earn half as much because they are just not as central to the oligarchic core sectors (law, finance, big tech as you said, but also big pharma and medicine).
All the core fields of the current oligarchy are based on exploiting the weaknesses of the individual.
Big tech uses your data to predict ways to influence your brain and condition you to take certain actions, buy certain products, adhere to certain ideas, etc
Big pharma and medicine exploit the growing number of illnesses, both physical and mental, that the modern person suffers due to the unnatural nature of modern society. And, if you are not ill, they will still find a way to make you end up on some medication.
Modern big finance (private equity, quant firms, etc) are all based on exploiting the economic system in ways that are completely unreacheable for the individual and generage insane ammounts of money despite providing absolutely no value to anyone outside the firm, which goes against the basic premise of capitalism.
Lastly, big law is the shield that protects the oligarchy from the few institutions that are still somewhat at the service of the people. Their entire job is to bend reality as needed to make sure that the house always wins no matter what.
Jobs that simply provide a product or service that doesn't exploit human weaknesses just can't compete against the demonic leviathans that control the modern world.
