Janitors don't create new Microsofts, new Apples, new Intels, new Nokias
No one who gets an income does. Those people make their money from capital accumulation, not salaries.
But why educate when a janitor makes the same you do without studying years and without having a high student debt?
Why get an education?
Because you don't want to be a janitor. Because income inequality is not zero. It's just that instead of earning 8 or 200 times more than a janitor, you will earn 'only' 4 times more because janitors get a wage they can live off of too.
Is it bad if people are able to take care of a family, send their kids to university (hah) and afford a home on a blue-collar salary? Is that a privilege that only people who go through university indoctrination should get?
I don't see a correlation on that list. Ireland is one of the richest European countries, and it also has very low income inequality.
A janitor does useful work, which cannot be said of people who are "expert" in gender studies or diversity training.
