And what that quote doesn't include is the fact that NBA players retire at like 30 as multi-multi-millionaires and the steel workers still work 5 days a week all year for the 35 years after the NBA player retires.

While this is true, people working at steel mines don't have the skills/education to do other jobs often. Most players in the NBA want to be in the NBA while most steel workers want to be in the NBA too.

You can be a below average employee at a steel mill for decades and get by. Can't do that in the NBA
