Orders? Plural? This is not true. Youre likely to make 90 percentile
Sorry, I suppose being a professional musician is one field with similar requirements for skill versus pay. Nobody's going to pay any money to a middle-quintile piano player, just like nobody in academia is going to pay any money to a freshly-minted middle-quintile PHD.
Middle quintile?
Someone in the middle 20% of competence at a skill or profession.
