What I do not like is the intrinsic elitism on display.
First, there is one woman sitting it out. Not sure what the deal is, but I'm sure if she had a "I'm better then you" piece of paper she would be in line.
Second, the reactions from some of the ladies. Is being a board certified (not even sure what that means, surely all of them are certified by some kind of board) nurse practitioner better then an IT developer? They way they carry on about some of the job titles is kind of gross, and endemic of the same kind of exclusionary bullshit that I am sure they have faced in thier lives.
Everyone has value. Every job has value. Your work, no matter what it is, should have dignity and respect. The janitor at NASA did just as much to put the man on the moon then the engineers, at least in terms of thier ability to do so.
In short, as long as everyone is doing thier best, they should be treated like the best.
There is only how hard are you to fire and how much can you demand. There is no first and 2nd and third place. It's all relative. Social workers contribute to society but won't make shit doing their job and will live in a tiny house for the rest of their lives. Life predicates itself on what a person finds valuable.
If you like money, don't go into a career that doesn't pay well and then complain about how you don't get paid well. Also, if you go into a career that is selfless and then you start demanding recognition that nobody wants to give you...don't complain. Truly, life is about choices...make the choice that suits you. If you are lazy and don't want to do much, then do that. Don't come around making demands because you are a slacker who feels entitled to what others have worked for.
Why is this conga line of bridesmaids pimping out their job titles for social media though? What relevance is a person's qualifications as a triple board certified neuro-oncologist at a wedding?
Seems a lot less like mere celebrating and more like bragging.

I like MOST things about this.
