Stop right there. You are not generalizing. You are talking out of your ass. I am always shocked when I run across people my age who are so arrogant. No matter how qualified you think you are, there will always be problems tougher than you have faced, hw architectures more delicate and complex than you have dealt with, and people who can blow your mind in ways that you cannot imagine. When you eventually acknowledge this, you should be grateful for the opportunity to learn what you can every day and that someone is paying you to do it. Fast forward 10 or 20 years and then we can start talking about value.
