    High paying jobs go to highly skilled workers. If you want to earn more, learn more.

    If you live in Germany, I’d say yes. Their home ownership levels are one of the lowest yet they are the richest in Europe and there are plenty of technical jobs that pay extremely well.

    We are at a tipping point again where companies have had too much benefit from the productivity of labour. That balance will shift with more employees taking direct action, the same as it always does.
