According to some posters in this thread the way you increase your earnings is by getting promoted or looking for other work so I’m not sure why you think arguing that flight attendants are “gap-type jobs” is relevant if that’s technically what any job is. Especially since you provided no data to support your claim or to support why we shouldn’t want a massive corporation that operates globally to provide a little better than gap type jobs to a large chunk of the workforce.
My salary was negotiated between my employer and I. My earnings potential is based off on my two degrees (this is economic signaling, right) and my 15 years of progressive experience.

Like it or not, there are fairly consistent economic observations about the value of labour. Large corporations are good because they provide a really wide variety of jobs for people - from "gap-type jobs" to high-paying professional jobs. People consistently change roles or places of employment to make more money.

Here's some data, in the US, 44% of minimum wage workers are between the ages of 16-24.
