Why should the same not apply to all levels?

No one has to suffer the pay limitations of their job. Each and every person is free to believe they are worth more. Some people just decide to do something with that belief.

If you believe that your view of the situation must be very simplistic, and I don't believe it's a simple issue. There are so many contributing factors to wages and why people 'settle' for the things they settle for. Sure people can decide to go and get more qualified or change jobs or be more entrepreneaurial (sp?), but sometimes it all just comes down to dumb luck, or being in the right place at the right time or knowing the right people etc. Usually it takes a lot more than just hard work.
