I don't think most people would consider that a very important indicator.

  What, really? You don't think that that's a significant part of why being a rock star counts as a really high-status job? Not all of them make a tremendous amount of money, but pretty much all of them can get laid on any given night.

  i think most (non-computer) people would consider that the reason for achieving status in the first place.

    Status is a combination of desirable things - Money, power, sex. Bartenders have somewhat more access to sex. But they have less money than a software developer, and less potential for power (there's no ceiling on being a developer - you can run your own business, and potentially become extremely influential. If a bartender gains that much influence/power and owns their own establishment, it becomes disingenuous to continue to call them "a bartender"). Furthermore, this aspect of status is irrelevant when a person is in a long-term relationship, which at some point in their lives most people are.

      On the contrary, having a status is a great way to keep your long term relationship going.
