you're right - chemical engineers are also on the bottom of the totem pole.
basically if you aren't in management or ownership, you are the bottom of the totem pole. this is by definition. if you look at an organization chart - who's on the bottom?
- nilkn 13y agoJanitors. But they're not people, right? No reason to pay any attention to them. Also, let's ignore all the people in the world who don't even work at large, prestigious, and highly profitable companies in the first place. They don't matter and aren't to be considered even part of society. You are thinking inside of a bubble and ignoring everything outside it. You're constructing a highly exclusive slice of society with developers at the bottom, million-dollar attorneys in the middle, and rock-star CEOs and billionaires at the top. There exist thousands of towns and small cities, each with many, many thousands of people, where 95% of jobs are worse than almost any given programming job in a larger city and very significantly worse than a programming job at, say, Google or Facebook.
- beachstartup 13y agowell, programmers and sysadmins are about the same level as janitors, or plumbers, or any other kind of laborer. not sure why you're upset at this.
- nilkn 13y agoI think at this point you're just deliberately being obtuse. You're free to make bizarre claims like that which virtually nobody would agree with, but unless you want to take the time to elaborate I'm not going to take the time to engage with you on this.
