At Factor e Farm, we go from redneck (manual labor, term deriving from being out in the sun all day and shedding the white of academic skin) to PhD - and from PhD to redneck. That's part of being an Integrated Human, just like Gandhi, who said to his head-of-state visitors, "Now if you excuse me gentlemen, I've got to clean latrines".

As such, we can advance people from relatively skilled work ($25) to $37.50 per hour for integrated build skill, moving on to $45 for managing crews, and $65 for organizing crews - corresponding to the equivalent work of Integrated Builder, Manager, C-suite. After that, the world is one's oyster, and this could be done with in-house scholarships from OSE. These would be loans, to be paid back with time. These are enabled by low-cost operation, and high-value revenue models based on integrated, open source skill sets and global collaboration.
