i understand it is a decision they have made, but do you think that a truck driver (no offense) is on the same level as a 10+ year trained docter?
should that truck driver get the same respect and prestige as a cardiac surgeon?
i mean, as you stated, the truck did choose to become a truck driver.
also, the docter has overcame and fought for where he is. what i mean is, everybody wants to be a doc or a lawyer, or an engineer, or something high level. but most simply give up or suppress their urges because it is "too hard".
docters have rose up above that and instead of saying forget it, its too hard, they have persevered.
becoming a MD isn't easy.
so just the fact that they chose that difficult-ass job, shows they deserve more respect.
for example: Lance Armstrong. what makes him so special?
he is special because he kicked ass the hard way. he kick ass even though he was battling cancer.
where others simply would have given up, Lance said, fuck that! I WILL NOT QUIT!
think about every influential person throughout history. did these people become famous because they took the easy route?
i plan on going to med school.
now, do you know how many parties i have missed? do you know how many all-nighters i have pulled? am i equal to that dumbshit who skips every class, gets wasted every week, and has a GPA of 2.2 (out of 4.0)?
people reward hard work. harder the job, the more prestige and respect they deserve.
Mussolini (yea yea, bad, evil, etc.) once preached, WE ARE NOT EQUAL.
if we were, nobody would strive for anything.
THERE IS a difference between the social classes.

There's no such thing as someone being better than another person, everyone chooses what they are and that's that, everyone has a purpose, some greater than others, and everyone must do their job for this country or any other to run right, NOT ONE PERSON IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER.
I'm 20 years old and i'm making more money right now as a Warranty Administrator than half the people my age, but do i go around and brag and flaunt the fact? No i dont, and when i become a service advisor and make 3X's what i'm making now am i going to, no. And when i start my own business am i going to say that i'm better than the people who work for me? No, because we're all equal in the fact that we are doing what we want to do in life. Self Improvement is masturbation, everyone is equal.
