I have
always been a little puzzled about the apparent lack of a relationship between the skills needed for some job and the
market value of those skills.

Tell me about it. My wife spends her days trying to teach 21 6 and 7 year olds, some of whom have serious emotional problems but she's given virtually no help with, to read, to do math, basically to start learning how to learn, not to mention how to behave, trying to turn young people into responsible citizens. She has a college degree and a Masters degree, anybody who has spent one hour trying to keep a birthday part of ten seven year olds under control for an hour can't imagine doing that for 21 kids all day long, let alone teach them something at the same time. And you know what she's paid. And they you look at some kid who barely graduated high school but can hit a curve ball and is making a 4 million dollar bonus plus 3 million a year. And these are our society's priorities?? No wonder our kids are so screwed up.
