The whole "starter wage" idea makes sense if it's paired with shit like on the job education, training, grace periods for fuck ups, schedules that encourage them to finish school etc. But it doesn't. If somebody can't live off the wages what the fuck are we starting? Debt peonage?

I suspect that's what it used to be, and that's how boomers came of age under or how Gen X recall their parents career trajectory.

Pretty much. That's why they believe in things like being loyal to your employer. They would not believe in such things if it hadn't been practical at one point in their lives. It even goes way back to ancient times. Apprenticeship is how you get artisan crafts and carry experience forward.
