>Consider the price of water compared to the price of diamonds. Diamonds are far more expensive than water, even though water is essential for life and diamonds are basically useless.
>Water is cheap because it’s relatively easy to acquire, whereas diamonds are much harder to get. Salaries work precisely this way.
Diamonds are expensive not because they're hard to get, but because their sales and distribution channels are controlled by a cartel. Oddly similar to SWE salaries, now that I think about it. :P
