That's not a widely held belief in some countries. Try mentioning you're an IT person in (say) the UK and you'll be looked upon like a plumber. aka "nothing special"
Ironically, plumbers (and other trades too) are in pretty good demand so themselves can make good $ compared to the standard office worker. ;)
- bequanna 3y agoThat just sounds like outdated ideas are held and perpetuated by your upper middle class.
- resolutebat 3y agoThat's how class works though? If you're getting paid a salary in exchange for your labor, you're by definition not upper class, even if the salary is generous. (And as previous poster notes, IT salaries in the UK are generally not great.)
- dukeyukey 3y agoI can't speak for general IT stuff but software in the UK is paid on-par with the non-US Western world (better in London), and significantly better than other white-collar jobs.
