| The owners of the companies we work for are making more money than us, off the value we create through our work, simply by through ownership itself. How’s that for compensation vs difficulty? |

| ▲ | sokoloff 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | If you think that’s an easier route, I doubt it’s ever been easier to found a company and own almost all of it. On this very site is a link at the bottom to apply for substantial funding and help in succeeding at a modest cost of equity. But if it’s easy enough that you don’t even need that help, you can own it all. | |
| ▲ | thedevilslawyer 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | If you believe that is the case, it is very simple to use some of that pay to buy a slice of that ownership via your preferred brokerage application. | | |

| ▲ | thedevilslawyer 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Well, how else are you going to buy the share? (I don't think further engaging on this would be meaningful, as the reactions are all coming from a place of prejudice to state of the world.) | | |
| ▲ | grafmax 4 days ago | parent [-] | | The state of the world is a human product. It’s something we create. We can choose to resign ourselves to it and rationalize it, or try to change it through conscious collective action. Either way we are participating in creating the world we see around us. |

| Only if you're talking about US market. |
| |
| ▲ | thedevilslawyer 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Can you call out any other market where another profession is as highly paid and accessible? | | |
| ▲ | pjmlp 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I can tell that in Portugal it is a highly paid as any office worker, meaning bad, with unpaid overtime, and until you make it into manager you're failing. Also doctors and business owners not only make it much more, there are plenty of under the table payment possibilities. I also know of offshoring countries where folks working in tourism make more in tips from foreigners that any IT worker can ever dream off. |

| And it’s still not enough to buy houses close to the offices. So something is wrong |

| That’s a fair statement, we should start giving blowjobs and dance like strippers to justify our salary. |
