The higher the demand and the lower the supply, the higher the price. (There are intersecting curves but that's the idea.) Now labor is a commodity as well, which helps determine wages. (There are other factors, of course.)The fact that some jobs are more pleasant than others produces compensating wage differentials--a garbage collector gets paid more at least in part because the job is dangerous (people throw out lots of awful stuff), arduous (you have to lift trash all day), and smelly. A pleasant job, all other things equal, will pay less as the supply will be greater at any given price.Now lots of people are willing to DM for free because they enjoy it. So I can't see it becoming a big moneymaker except for a few people.</blockquote>
