It's more someone working since the age of 16. Working hard for an average or more than 13 hours a day for nearly 30 years straight. Earning above average is IMO totally justified, but I accept your opinion.

Ha! Try to find a KiTa in Berlin. Even if the law says so, it does not mean there's enough supply!
