I have long sensed a similar bias, which I call crappy programmer / great teacher. Why do crappy programmers straight out of school make so much more than great teachers straight out of school, an effect that increases over time, even though they both require similar cognitive loads and skills. I believe the literal devaluation of professions which women dominate because the default profession salary standard is male is what contributes to the well-known net aggregate difference between female and male wages. I haven’t refined the idea to a one-liner but reading works like this help me.
Nicely done.
