    Because countries don’t generally need average workers. What they most often lack is educated workers skilled in one thing or the other.

    What do you expect?

    “Hi! I’m merely average. Can I come in?”

      The answer to this point is in a comment further down. But the point you’re missing is how often professions are downplayed as unskilled. Someone messes up in my field and someone dies, but that’s considered unskilled despite it being a profession where there’s constantly an outcry for more workers.
