    The sheer volume of people I’ve encountered through numerous jobs that are on high wages but lack basic skills astounds me.

      They have other skills you don’t have, that are more important for those high paying jobs.

      Like faking genuine interest in the shit their higher-ups blather on about, convincingly laughing at racist and misogynist jokes, backstabbing their peers when a position opens up, and doing the most demeaning tasks with a smile and a “thank you”.

    Strange judging only by how good they are with computers. They might have some other valuable skills that gets them paid highly.

        This is not a fair comparision imo. There is an assumption that salary is corellated with experience/knowledge/being useful. Fairer comparision would be judging Ferrari mechanic for not knowing how to change oil
