I think it's certain professions -where what you are doing is for the benefit of society. At least, this is what I've come to believe. Like schools, many non-profits pay the execs six figures and as little as possible to the actual deliverers of the 'product'. They're forever teling you how important your work is - and how broke the school/program is. They know you believe in what you're doing and they play it for all it's worth.
