From my experience in the US (frequent unemployment, likely due to partially undiagnosed AuDHD - the autism part is a hinderance) the harder the work is the worse it pays. I’ve done absolutely brutal insane construction work in insane dangerous conditions and made just a couple dollars more than minimum wage, meanwhile paper pushers in cush office jobs work remote for $100k+ a year.
You are preaching to the choir. I'm also the ASD unemployment statistic, but I was mostly making a hypothetical. I've done some shitty ass jobs and they paid peanuts. My job before what I'm doing now paid $73,000 and I probably worked 4 hours out of the workday writing code.
