The order of priority is wrong. The skills are irrelevant because they are misused. Working as a stockbroker is not a mathematically sound option calculating the scarcity of talent with figures and the economic impact of their work. The person cannot assess the first thing about cost versus benefit, investment in a direction that results in a greater future benefit, about diminishing returns or risk analysis. Their work helps to increase the income gap, the it redistributes from workers to non- workers, money has relatively little value to the wealthy than to the less so, and this is all quantifiable. Yet their analysis of what it is they do is reduced to algebra (ie., an imaginary hypothetical value system is used). However their actions have a real world effect.
