    This isn’t true in practice.

    In actual reality, instead of hopeful, idealized economic bibble bobble, even skilled or in demand professionals get underpaid because the magical market for labor everyone conjures up in their mind palaces doesn’t actually exist, and corporations collude constantly to suppress wages and even steal them.

      This is correct. Almost no one is making what they should be, and we know where that money’s gone instead.
