> a piece of paper that allows them to demand a high wage while actively avoiding mental or physical exertion

I’d argue that the piece of paper is more for a semi-secure livable wage than a high wage, with or without physical exertion. From my anecdotal subgroup, I’ve yet to meet a person who expects (let alone: hopes for) high wages (above $25/hr) as a result of their degree.



I've yet to meet someone with a degree who expects 'wages' or measures their earnings per hour!
