I have the same 'issue' with other professions. Before the tech-industry was big, you had the occasional CEO saying: "I started in the mailroom!", implying that you too can be a CEO one day. That's reversed reasoning gone wrong: the chance that a CEO worked in the mailroom is a million times bigger than that a mailroom employee is bound to be a CEO.
Same holds for famous artists: talk to their parents and they probably say that he/she was always singing with a fake microphone in front of a mirror. 90% of the kids do that...

Didn't listen when I told him that cleaning was all contracted out and the "boss" would never see me working hard as a cleaner.
