      By the time you’re making $~400k, which is what you’d need to be doing what you describe, you’re not doing skilled work any more, you’re in executive management.

      I’ll humor your dismissive and empathy-void phrasing, let’s agree that life of different for the “high skilled workers”, what percentage of society do they make?

      Are you suggesting (as your tone implies) that everyone working a non high skilled job isn’t living the American way and shouldn’t deserve a life with job protections and without crushing debt, as the comment you directly replied to so callously was claiming?

      Put a dollar amount on your real American way and tell me what percentage of society deserves to live the real American way.
