Society, in the USA, is not designed around finding the best and brightest doctors. It is about finding people to pay into being a doctor. "Need to spend money to make money" as the saying goes. Odds are some of those UPS works would make great doctors. Just that they neither have the finances to peruse being a doctor nor do they known they would be good doctor. School is not focused on help us find what we are good at. Those that do are just lucky to live in an environment where you can. No different than some of those UPS works would make a great athlete, actor, or other profession. They just don't know it because lack of opportunity to learn and find out.
I like your part about home prices. There always multiple factors in play. Such as not limiting land lords buying up properties to make home owner ship a scarce resource. Or limiting construction zoning for homes. Or turning homes into Air BNBs. Or people owning more than one home. Or companies raising prices to increase profits to drive up stocks which limit affordable building materials.
Multiple factors drive up home prices. No different than multiple factors limit our selection of quality of doctors. Doctors, home sellers, and home builders benefit by limiting and creating a scarce resource.
