That doesn't sound very logical to me. I think it's more to do with the
supply and demand, ie how many posts are available compared to how many

Yes, if all other factors are equal between two jobs.

The thing with doctors/surgeons etc is that you need a lot of high quality
education to become one *and* you have a huge responsibility with respect to
human lives. Also why pilots get paid quite a lot.
