AI automating (almost) all white collar work will concentrate all those salaries into the hands of a very small group of people.

BTW the number of plumbers who become multimillionaires is vanishingly small, while the number of SWE who have in the last 15 years is enormous by comparison.

Neither statement is true, unfortunately. The reports that you read in the media don't reflect the state of the world. In the US, most plumbers and SWE make between 100-200K. The way to wealth is to start one's own business. Hence, hard work and character.

$62,970 per year is not $100K-$200K

People will charge less when there are more people fighting for the same plumbing roles no?

I hope so, plumbers are damn expensive
