Exactly. I would not do those jobs... I would just fail the test on purpose.

And in such a way the system would be self selecting :P
There are enough people who enjoy the challenge and respect that comes with management who would take on that role even if reward was not measured primarily through money. I know plenty of people who take that experience and training and all that hard work and use it to get a job doing something very important and stressful within an organisation like the Refugee Council. I also know of people who have chose n a lesser paid position because the job held more prestige than a similar, better paid job with a less respected company. And people who have chosen to take their skills and training and use it to bring on a worthy company (such as a local theatre company).
There are many co operatives operating in the UK (though not as many as in Germany: their company law is much more adaptive for co-operatives and mutuals) where, though there is a differantial in wages between different staff levels, those levels are set by the members as a whole. Often people will work in such co-operatives for significantly less than they would get in an ordinary firm.
Lots of people do jobs which are paid less than they could potentially earn elsewhere. Those who don't feel like working so hard for so little would preumably fail the test on purpose (rk) and do lesser jobs instead.
