Jobs that are easier to obtain get paid less due to the fact that almost anyone can do them. Too much competition is bad for job pay.
The market regulates itself. At least that is how I see it.
That person who worked their youth off earning a degree and is now using it to apply their skills and get paid, deserves it too and hence the pay discrimination will always be present.
Hence people should not be lazy and work hard to find their passion and pursue it to be able to reach a job that is keeping their satisfied and paid.
Nothing humans actually do to improve themselves is a waste. While there are those that goes through some institutions of formal learning, some might go through some technical schools while others might just attach themselves to established persons in a skill with hopes of learning and acquiring that skill.
You shouldn’t expect there not to be a discrimination in the pay grade. Even on the forum, there is a discrimination on pay grade for campaigns based on attachment/experience as projected by the ranking.
There are careers with backings and recommendations as against others and that’s what a very gives you as against someone that doesn’t have any certification. One who has gone through the stress and haven’t spent resources in acquiring a certification and practical knowledge in a field definitely deserves more.
Improvement is necessary; no one disputes that. Let's get to the point: value, right? Formal education, technical training, and mentorship all have benefits. The catch: value isn't viewed equally. That's reality, not cynicism. Pay grade discrimination is about how you use what you know and who you know. Certifications are important, but so is innovation and adaptability. Think Bitcoin. It defied convention, and look where it is. Adding something unique is key
Those with credentials and experience? Of course they deserve praise. We shouldn't ignore self-taught geniuses. They work hard, learn, and push boundaries. In addition to climbing standard ladders, you can build new ones for others. We must embrace that spirit
