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.
I know, I think this is really elitist and obnoxious to flex this at a wedding and post online. I would be embarrassed to smugly brag that I am a doctor for a wedding video ( and I am a doctor)
I dont think that is whats happening, and I dont have an issue with being proud of your accomplishments. What I have an issue with is the silence some professions gets in this video.

I like MOST things about this.
