Over the years research carried out around 'work' has repeatedly proved the people who get the most satisfaction from their jobs are not doing it for the money. And those who are, score lowest on the job satisfaction measure...
There may be a time in life to sacrifice in order to make money. But to do it long term is to offer up the more valuable things in life on the altar of Mammon. When we get to be old, the things we remember with most joy are not necessarily the things that brought in the most dosh.
People will always take a career that they like, and with more fair wages it may be one less barrier to study if they know they can pay their loan easier, even if they worked for a bit proir to attending uni, etc.
At the end of the day, one hour of a human life should be worth the same to everybody.
I think this was the only thing communism really got right.
We have seen improvements in some areas i guess, jobs such as mining once upon a time were the lowest of wages, but now actually pays rather well.
