No, you actually cannot because wages are tied to the incomes and living costs of the customers. The closer the work is to the end consumer, the stickier the wages.

That is why plumbers don't get paid an ever-increasing amount, due to their scarcity: there is an upper-limit to what the average person can pay for their efforts.

The reason rich people's jobs pay more is because the customers of their efforts are more liquid, due to the size of the customer (government, international firms, etc.) or the market that their customer is in (luxury goods, fancy hotels, etc.).

You can be closer or further away from the money faucet, depending upon who pays for your work.
