My counter argument is that if I could have a cooler job for the same pay I'd rather do the cooler job. I work in Healthcare and I have only met a small handful of doctors in it for thr money. They like the money sure, but love of money isn't gonna get you through medical school.
If I didn't need to worry about rent there are cooler jobs that pay less that I rather have now.
Usually in society the harder dirtier work is paid less. So obviously that isn't a factor. I have been a janitor. I worked harder for less than I do now.
Look at coal mining. 1. It is bad and doesn't need to happen. 2. It would be fine if you used reasonable safety and worker health precautions. Like, I wouldn't be a coal miner. However, if I got to drive a giant digger and wear a proper respirator so I didn't have to worry about black lung that sounds rad.
I am unaware of any situation where the work has to be shitty and has to be done. I think all those situations are created by capital and if people got equal wages then alot of thst woudl clean itself up.
If the boring jobs ended up with enough of a deficit that couldn't be solved with promotion and nudging people softly, they would get the same adjustment as anything else. I guess it's funny to think of, like, a deep water welder and a nurse being the wealthiest people in a socialist society though. What are some other boring jobs that would end up in that position?
