I have also had the same feeling, and I'm not sure I agree with you.
I wouldn't like to be hired for a low-end job with low-end wages and
low-end colleagues.  Unfortunately, I get the impression that most of
the job market consists of such positions.  Except, of course, in the
mission- or life-critical sectors.
