Study finds 90% of Australian teachers can't afford to live where they teach
Meaningful work is desirable, people are willing to do meaningful work for less pay, this results in meaningful work being paid less. (This is a existential crisis realization for me.)<p>Is there anything to prevent the pay for our most important and meaningful jobs from approaching zero?<p>Value (as in profit generating value) and meaning are different things. This explains why meaningful work is not necessarily valuable work. But here's the thing, why aren't value and meaning aligned? Don't we want to value and pay for things we find meaningful? This misalignment seems to be an underlying cause of many problems--the root of all evil even.
