Sinkies too focused on PMET jobs says economics professor

[Rogue Trader]

Reading all your comments, I propose a solution:

Impose uniform wage. Sinkies can stick to PMET jobs. Import angmors to collect rubbish and wash dirty dishes.

The "trap" in peesai is manufactured by the pappies. If you work hard and study hard and get a PHD, yes in peesai you are up there. But these same people will be in for a rude shock overseas in Canada,NZ or OZ. Supply and demand is practiced in these cuntries. Once things get worst in peesai, you'll see more PHD taxi drivers.
Even if 50 percent of sinkees get Masters or PHds, will there be jobs for them that suit thir education in peesai? Someone still needs to take out the trash and drive taxis. But the downgrade in salary from a degree holder to a cook or garbage collector is drastic in peesai and will probably see more suicides in the future. Not so much in western cuntries as blue collar jobs are on par with white collar ones in terms of wages or even higher. A cook in OZ can earn as much as 70k a year, even after taxes it's still comparable to office worker type jobs. Office worker in peesai gets retrenched will die working as a cook in peesai.

One of the biggest misconception people still hold, is high educational qualifications equates high income. Likewise, people also assume highly intelligent people has higher educational qualifications and are richer.

That is absolutely not true. Our modern capitalist world will always reward people who has capital better than everybody else. Workers are nothing more than economic digits working for the benefit of those elite few. What workers are paid, is a function of demand and supply, how much people are willing to pay for what you do, and how easy is the supply.

Many years ago, those Microsoft Certified Professionals were paid very handsomely, some even got assured job offers before they graduate from college, simple because they earned the qualifications MCP / MCSE. But over the tech boom, millions of people flocked into this MCP / MCSE "craze" so much so there becomes an over supply of people with this toilet paper. So the mean and average pay of MCP has dropped tremendously. Now even my company's desktop support, has the qualifications and he doesn't drawing more than $2k pay.

It's all about demand and supply at the end of the day.

The question is, what level should uniform wage be set at?

$4k? $5k?

How do you justify a $4k pay for a security guard? Or a Mcdonald crew?

I have been in Toronto for about 30 years, and the following examples will support your comments:

1. First class police constables in Toronto earn about Cdn $80,000 a year, excluding overtime pay

2. Toronto Transit Commission bus drivers and subway operators start at about Cdn $23 an hour, and within 2 years they will earn about $26 to $29 an hour, with a very good pension and benefits package

3. Garbage truck drivers / collectors earn about Cdn $60,000 a year

4. School teachers earn about Cdn $80,000 a year, with one of the best pension plan in the country

5. Plumbers and other skilled tradesmen earn between $35 to $60 an hour, before overtime pay

6. Nurses earn between $30 to $42 an hour

In Singapore, they have practically infinite supply of cheapo foreign workers for such jobs, so nobody pays this kind of money for jobs you mentioned.
