I know it's counter-intuitive to most people ... because we've grandfathered in the mentality of "desk work expensive, manual work cheap" ... but this is not reflective of skill levels.
Example 1 : a social media manager has to execute at roughly the same level as a waiter, and a head of social media strategy has to execute at roughly the same level as a matre d.
Example 2 : an accountant has to execute at roughly the same level as a cook, and a comptroller has to execute at roughly the same level as a chef.
Example 3 : we should be raising federal regulations to require that anyone who touches structural, electrical, plumbing, or refrigerant work ... is able to conduct themselves at the level of an accountant who makes regulatory submissions on a daily basis ... not at the level of a cook who is able to make raw food passably edible.
This is of course, nearly a troll post, but it opens a gambit for reasonable discussion about how to price labour, and what sorts of minimum standards should be imposed by regulations about labour.
