That's a great point. In theory, having a shortage of X at price Y is nonsensical. It doesn't make any sense to say there's a shortage of worker drones with a mastery of multiple advanced disciplines. There are "enough" of them, they're just called consultants and they make like a thousand dollars an hour. Or if there aren't enough of them, offer a salary that will enable them to at least pay off the student loans they'll accumulate getting a Ph.D and a couple masters degrees on top.

...in theory.
