The assumption that washing toilets and cleaning dishes can't be a high paying job. If nobody wants to do it scarcity will drive up the salary. The problem isn't the job, it the minimum wage attached to the job making it undesiarable.

If you pay a plumbers hourly rate to clean toilets, I can guarantee you people will be lining up to be toilet cleaners.

Dishwashers and cleaners should be paid well. Hot take.

Problem is there is aa discrepancy between what people are willing do the job for themselves and what they're willing to pay someone else to do it, with the latter being noticeably lower.

It's a false dichotomy.
