I agree in principle but the problem there is you would then get people saying they were stealing jobs. The fact is that with increasing young people's learning and aspirations, wrongly or rightly, has led to a situation were people want to be pro sports people, film stars, doctors, lawyers etc.
There again, should you deliberately leave people with lower expectations to be cleaners, gardeners, call centre workers, delivery people, etc. That would be getting into Brave New World territory, but then much of what that book said is true today.
