I submit that it's because of the egalitarian ideals that certain professions are looked down on. Work that is seen as doing the scutwork that someone else is too lazy to do for themselves is vaguely looked down on. In an egalitarian society, you are a servant. You have chosen to degrade yourself. It's a repulsive thing, in that mindset. It's an active betrayal of ideals, and not even for a particularly good payout.
