Someone will always be stuck in a minimum wage job. KFC won't go away just because the entire world has an MBA, or MBAs will be working at KFC for minimum wage. That is unless the executives choose to make less, so that the front line workers can make more.

I can rationalize myself donating a roof, running water, and a bed, but not anything more. A tiered system along these lines would catch the people with the ambition and will to improve their situation, the rest can freeze according to their own choice.
