I feel like you put too much emphasis on what your job says about you personally. "I'm a lawyer, so I'm obviously smarter than you." You have to realize that your profession says jack shit about what you know regarding sports, movies, bio-molecular homeopathic symbiosis, or anything else. It means you went to school for 6-10 years, studied 1 particular subject incredibly thoroughly, then were certified to practice a profession because of your ability to pass a test of your acumen for the subject you spent the last 2-6 years of your schooling focusing on. I'm not trying to suggest you're an idiot. Seriously, if I get a parking ticket that I think is bullshit, you're one of the people I'd ask about fighting it. But you're still some shit head fanboy like the rest of us, having internet pissing matches on a forum with less than 200 regular users. All of whom in a general sense, have the same interests, likes, personality and yet we somehow find a way to bicker and wax poetic about how our own way in the world is better than everyone else's.
I know this to be true, because I'm an engineer. I only paid for 4 years of school and I have a sweet job and tons of money.
Also, engineer>>>>>>>lawyer.
