Elyse Melling Ch. 6 Question 6

A part that interested me from chapter six was the numerous references to the house of Bill Gates. I found this interesting because Wheelan also mentioned how whoever was reading his book probably didn't have a house of the same size. He then went on to relate this to how some people are better off, and so therefore can afford an education which aids in work experience. Wheelan says, "the more nearly unique a set of skills, the better compensated their owner will be." Gates had a very unique set of skills that was in demand and so therefore was compensated more. If one doesn't have a good education to provide the necessary skills for employment, they will most likely be compensated less.
