Idk, maybe it's not the exact book definition but I always thought about how well I'm paid in terms of the purchasing power, not the arbitrary value, and especially not by comparison with others (strictly speaking, because costs of living are kind of that, isn't it?).
The software jobs slowly go into the direction of not being worth the effort (I don't really believe that we will reach that point but that's the current direction).
