Thats how it works in a free market. You get paid your worth. And people deem your worth.
A musician like Michael Jackson made lots of money. Because many people bought his music. Compared to lets say Novelist that barely sold much.
The more likable a job is the less you get payed.
Working in the shade at a fast food place has more likable conditions then lets say a ditch digger working in the hot sun that gets payed more with higher risk of injury.
Also what deems the jobs pay is supply and demand. More people go for a fast food type job then a ditch digger. More supply of people means you're are easily replaceable, therefore your employer pays you less and doesn't have to worry about hiring and finding a replacement. Compared to a ditch digger where people hardly apply to. So employers offer higher pay to try to attract more people to work that job. If both jobs offered same pay then hardly anyone will pick one that has risk of death over a job with more likable conditions and lower risk of death. Or another example doctors which there is less of so employers offer higher pay to keep what is in limited supply.
