IDK Kusa, the fact that farmers are disappearing and going out of business left right and center, despite decades of experience...while high school dropouts manage to succeed and profit as programmers seems to suggest otherwise. It's not as if the market (or need) for food is smaller than the market for code.....so that wouldn't explain it.
I think that people are so far removed from the one that they really have no idea what's involved. They, maybe, planted a tomato in their yard once and they think "hell, this isn't so hard". No, that's not very hard. It's not farming, though. Farming is the thing that people with lots of money leaning on -many- degrees..both their own and entire universities of others, do.
Even when it comes to doctors, the water is muddy....it's easy to imagine that the job is "worth more", in some sense, than another. OTOH, I;d worry more about my health and wellbeing if all of our sanitation workers (read:trashmen) went on strike than if all our doctors went on strike. Sure, people will pay whatever they'll pay, and people will accept whatever wage they'll accept...but to imagine there's some profound underlying logic or demonstrable scale that justifies the disparity between farmers and coders, doctors and trashmen.......well, gl with that.
