@matrix i'm a leftie but "there is no such thing as unskilled work" types make me cringe. just because a job is equally necessary doesn't make it equally difficult.
@matrix the part about med students is true though, it's crazy how much debt they're saddled with and discourages then from going into lower paying but often more valuable fields
@georgia @matrix
it's all just supply and demand, you can try to intelligently (centrally) control it but that doesn't usually end well

@georgia People will often go for a higher salary even if they don't need it. We have free college yet there's a lot of doctors who go to Germany after finishing their studies because of a higher salary.

@matrix @georgia and people leaving germany because of shitty prospects
@georgia
I've been talking you you on the interwebz long enough to know that you're a reasonable person.
