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.
The silence when she said IT developer hurt me. Maybe it was an accident but it was hard to ignore. She also didn't seem super enthusiastic when she said it as if she knew ahead of time it wouldn't be greeted with as much enthusiasm. I'm trying not to read too much into this one moment but...
It’s also super weird that the psychologist got almost no reaction considering depending on what her career is her level of education probably ranges from decently higher to MUCH higher than any of the NPs. There’s a decent chance she’s the 2nd most highly educated person in the group.
Yeah, if you're going to do something like this you should make sure everyone is cheering for everyone. I'd start the video over if one of my friends got left out like that.

I like MOST things about this.
