I'd work fast food, garbage collection or janitorial services all day every day if it paid me the same as my current work. The reason no one wants those jobs is because they don't pay well, and the reason they don't pay well is largely because everyone can do them. Well, okay, garbage collection may be the exception here.
As for the "it's not worth 100 times more" difference, I feel like you're just applying a really subjective moral judgment about what the value of certain work is. I guess everyone does that, but I don't think it's fair to suggest that your intuitions about those things are inherently right, because they're not based on anything beyond your personal feelings.
