Skillset gap is not what determines price. Supply and demand ratios do, which does not necessarily correlate with skillset gap.

For example, I might be able to be an executive assistant, but I imagine the quality of life of an executive assistant is worse than what I do now, so I would want even more money to be an executive assistant.

It correlates big time. It's just that there are exceptions to the rule.
