I understand Bob's rant, when he talks about surgeons regularly putting in 80 hour weeks, sounds like a lot of work to me. Just because someone has gone through a lot of education and doesn't wear a blue collar doesn't mean that he doesn't work just as hard as a "working man".

I have degrees in geology and in industrial design and I can't tell you how many times some blue collar guy has tried to bust my balls because of it (I'm just going to be a snob first, you white collar snob!). If it's a neighbor, coworker or someone I'm around alot I can usually bring him around by helping him with his automotive problems (car repair and maintenance is something I'm really good at and enjoy).
