Of course you haven't seen swipes at these kinds of people. All the professions you mentioned are strictly hierarchical and highly regulated, and rewards to them come much the same as they come to schoolchildren - due to the benevolence of a higher authority. When someone succeeds as a doctor, people are hardwired to think "they deserved it" because of the very human drive to seek a hierarchical tribal structure, while when a businessman succeeds without going through what is seen by polite society as the "proper channels", they are vilified for not respecting the structures of authority, regardless of them contributing to society or not. It is a very widely adopted attitude. I'd say over 90% of human beings find the professions you mentioned to be the most "respectable" of all, while businessman are seen as the lowest of the low. Policemen also used to be treated that way, but they've fallen out of favor a bit. I find it sad that people who don't feel the need to cringe and submit to their supposed "betters" get treated as troublemakers who wish to destroy the harmony of society, except at the highest levels of business achievement (which are in turn disproportionately lionized)
