They have other skills you don't have, that are more important for those high paying jobs.

Like faking genuine interest in the shit their higher-ups blather on about, convincingly laughing at racist and misogynist jokes, backstabbing their peers when a position opens up, and doing the most demeaning tasks with a smile and a "thank you".

Don't forget rudely asking the flight attendant to bring another warm moist hand towel as I have spilled my pre-flight mojito.

I thought you'd go a different route and I was ready to fight. But yes. This sums it up pretty well. I quit my last job with a (roughly translated) "you're an idiot, go fuck yourself. I'm polishing up my vita" and it was SO great.

Yeah, asking software engineers to work with other departments is basically my entire job. I drink a lot.
