If you want them to flip burgers for you, pay them what you'd want to make flipping burgers for them.

And I'll even say, I don't want to flip burgers. The thing I want to do most is my job, and other people can do other jobs. I feel like there's always this fear, oh, who will do the skilled/educated jobs! Like, smart folks will not suddenly be like "Eh, I don't want to be a doctor anymore because people can survive on flipping burgers."
