    Strange judging only by how good they are with computers. They might have some other valuable skills that gets them paid highly.

      Yeah, it’s like judging a Ferrari owner for not knowing how to change the oil…

      You are paid according to your responsibilities, not your skills. Well, partially for your skills, but it’s not the be-all end-all of your salary.

      Sadly, after a certain point, people become so rich that they can skirt their responsibilities, which is problematic, but that’s a separate thread.
