Some others suppose they are more likely to be better paid than otherwise if they get more certificate. 这句话中otherwise后面省略了什么嘛?感觉好像otherwise是和if连在一起的有歧义。
They are more likely to be better paid than otherwise if they get more certificates.
这个句子than otherwise提前到if从句之前了。还原后为:
They are more likely to be better paid if they get more certificates than otherwise.
= They are more likely to be better paid if they get more certificates than they are likely to be paid if they don't get more certificates.

Some others suppose they are more likely to be better paid than otherwise if they get more certificates.
=Some others suppose they are more likely to be better paid than otherwise, if they get more certificates.
= Some others suppose,if they get more certificates,they are more likely to be better paid (in this situation)than in a different situation (=otherwise).
=Some others suppose, with more certificates, they are more likely to be better paid than without them.
if they have more certificates = thiswise (a word coined by me, for temporary use)
if they haven't them = otherwise
