I was already expecting this should be made public. ;)
anyway to respond to your question:
yes the wage is lower because if you train more skills the skills will be lower then when you train just 1 or two.
If you just train 1 or 2, you are able to get a very high skill in much less time, so you will pay much more wage.
Hope this clears it out.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
