Maybe the whole system of basing pay on supply and demand needs some serious adjustments based on the societal impact of a job?

It’s not that I’m unhappy with my cushy tech job and the life style that comes with it, but making literally 5x or 10x more than a nurse or a janitor and pretty much anyone who does essential and often backbreaking work is fundamentally unjust and cruel.

Never think you are overpaid- you are not, definitely not if you are a developer, it's just that many others are underpaid, that's the problem.
