Education alone won't fix it. Global Corporate Philosophy today is to simply pay labor less regardless of anything. Experience, education, skill simply means your *less underpaid* than otherwise. Still underpaid.
See Steve Jobs collusion with all the big tech companies preventing highly skilled employees from free market competition for wages.
I think you are wrong on lower wages jobs. What happens when one machine can produce everything? (Just to extreme example). Rather the society has to understand and support paying everyone better rather than classify people as not worthy of wages. That's a tactic to make workers blame each other. Rather than understanding nearly everyone is being underpaid.

I'm not disagreeing with any of your points, btw. I think large corporations will act as inhumanely as necessary to increase their profit margins because well... that's what we created them to do.
