If all work is not the same why would people perform these difficult jobs where you fix issues on critical apps.
Simple office administration jobs which aren’t difficult can be done by anybody.
Sure, most CEOs get disproportionately paid for the position they’re in but I don't think they’re job is any less stressful or demanding than actually working with the nuts and bolts.
"if work is hard, why wouldnt you just choose not to do the work?"
This is next level out of touch lol. You're right though, all those construction workers should just become CEOs!
I actually love my job as a software engineer! I'd rather do absolutely nothing else, as a boring desk job where I sit around looking busy all day would bore me to hell and I'd very likely make 1/3 what I'm making now. I find exactly zero interest in a "people job" even if it paid more because I wouldn't enjoy it.
So, the reason I do the job I do is because of personal fulfillment and money. Beyond the bare minimum of survival, that's why people do the jobs they do. It's not rocket science
