I'll never understand this attitude from fellow pilots. If you want to be blunt about it, the only likely real difference between you and those "no education toilet cleaners" is that you were fortunate enough to have the money/means to pursue this career. If they had the money (and desire) for flight training, most of them would be right where you are. You (and the rest of us) are not that special.
While I agree with you on the importance of being humble, I disagree that most of them would be right beside us. Please don't belittle our profession by pretending those of us got where we are today without dedication and hard work. Having money was a small piece of the pie.
