Are you including health care and retirement benefits in that higher pay?

You're assuming these were out of pocket costs borne by the user, as happens in the United Shitholes of America (new official name, because the rest of the world can rename things too!)

I'd use it to get a degree in an AI proof industry, like dental hygienist.

This is essentially what happened to my neighbour, who was an IBM employee for 30 years when in the 90s IBM decided to downsize by offering buyouts.

He ended up with about the same or higher pay as a contractor as I recall.
