Why would anyone need to justify his&#x2F;her salary?<p>It&#x27;s very simple: supply &amp; demand. If you are a specialist of a certain field where there is lack of people doing it, you&#x27;ll probably earn more than average. If we stop letting unions and others harass the free system and companies could hire people easily over the borders we could all earn what we really deserve.<p>The most ridiculous thing today is the extremely high salaries of the working class in western countries. People with trivial and easily automatable jobs keep complaining that companies are taking jobs to China, but then at the same time they demand the same salaries as academically educated professionals doing difficult work and even though there would be millions of people in China, India, Philippines etc. ready to come to this country and do the same work for 1&#x2F;5 - 1&#x2F;10 of his&#x2F;her salary, that&#x27;s just not allowed...<i>derpderp</i>
