Guys you are talking about this as
if this were somthing new. I first
learned of this back in the late
70's. This is not a new phenominom
your talking about. It's just gotten
bigger through the years. Any job
that puts food on the table, and is
honest work, is an honorable job.
Seperating the masses into classes
is what gives certain professions a
bad name. More study, less golf
might help.
