I've endend with this conclusion:
The more you're able to create debt, the more you'll earn.
example, CIO: hudge pay, because your 1000 salaries will create
a lot of debt. Architect, huge pay: your client will create a
debt on 20 years, etc...you see the logic.
The more your job maintains the system the more it'll be
renumerated.
The amount of money you earn is actually not proportional to
your work, the amount of money you earn simply represents your
ability to create debts.
What do you think about that ?
According to Graeber [0], money = debt.
However, I assume your comment comes from a socio-critical
position, where you want to associate overpaid bosses with
negative words like "debt". Note that debt is not inherently a
bad or evil thing, especially not for the rich. Debt is not
something to be avoided. It is something to be managed. Likewise
a programmer should not avoid technical debt completely. Instead
it should be consciously taken, managed, and payed in due time.
