I wasn't talking about compensation. My point was only that any one who refers to themselves as "We are not average citizens. We are extremely specialized, highly trained" probably is the type of guy/gal that wears full uniform to run errands. Period.
Obviously, you wear yours to family photos, and your wife's friend's Halloween party. But, hey, you're not average. You're special.
Let’s play a game called let’s trade jobs for a day. I’ll watch a YouTube video and learn how to hang drywall, and I’ll go hang drywall. Then I’ll give the guy in your example an airbus (preferably one not from my company), show him a video on how to start it up, fly it, and land it, and give him the keys. Let’s compare results and see how much flying and landing skill that foreskin of his has.
