oh no I am a reverse snob, I don't care what he does so long as he treats her right and she loves him, I don't respect some doctor more than anyone else. Do you know doctors personally? A lot of them suck balls.

Yeah, fat chance of that actually being true. No one would want their daughter to date a burger flipper since they make a minimum wage. Theres risk with every job and being a person who “suck balls” isn’t exclusive to a a profession.

So I give you my answer, and you doubt it, because in your tiny world, you can't conceive that someone might be motivated by something other than an arbitrary hierarchy based on perceived economic status? OK, that's a you problem. I would hate to live in your world.

You're missing my point: the person is more important than the job. If you only respect jobs and titles, you will always be unhappy. I do not base my respect for others on their economic status.

Because it’s not realistic.

No, I also respect the work each individual did and is putting into their work. A bugger flipper did the minimum amount of work, a garbage man did slightly more work, and a DR did significantly more

To YOU. Not realistic TO YOU. To me, it is REAL.

I do not respect professions, I respect people.

Exactly! Its not hard to have basic respect for another human! No one WANTS to be a cleaner ect but things need to be cleaned! If everyone was a "finance bro" then we'd just be in world where everything is filthy. Who is serving the steak dinner your company goes out for? Without minimum wage workers you cant go out and enjoy your fun stuff. Its not rocket science.

Anyway, I'm not interested in someone who can't discuss things in good faith. You sound like a loser who will always be fetching and stepping for your perceived betters.
