Being given rewards for hitting specific targets is the opposite of wages. Wages come more or less regardless of what you do, as long as you don't get fired. This would be more like bonuses or self-employment. Also it's not much different to rewarding kids with pocket money for doing household chores. This doesn't mess kids up, more like the opposite: it teaches them that work leads to rewards.
