think its the general assumption that window washers hate the job, dont get paid very well, and get told to better themselves and go to uni all the time. Otherwise they will always be second class.
I know I'm hijacking,a bit, but I'd like to get this off my chest. I'd say that *the* most intelligent person I ever met was a gypsy who.never went to school, at all. Including home schooling. He was completely self taught in every thing he did - from building a house, to expounding on cosmology and astronomy to the motives of Stephen Dedelus (being Joyce) in Joyce's ' Ulyesses' and with a vast knowledge of modern first editions, of which he is a collector. He also destroys everyone at chess.
Not bad for a builder who no one taught to read.
Similarly, I've met Doctors who have a very average to poor intelligence. Academics of course tend to be very bright but taking them out of the equation for a moment there are many folk with so called professional jobs who are there through chance, luck, accident of birth or often an engaging personality - the face just fits - nothing to do with ability or intelligence.
In short, intelligence and job are less co-related than people assume.
I think given our backgrounds it's understandable, but I've seen quite a bit of bragging and superior attitude among exjws who have a measure of success, *and* a tendency to place a little too much trust in bits of paper. In short, they swing the other way.
Being a window cleaner, whether millionaire or broke, is just a way to earn a crust...it's not who you are...it's says nothing about your talents, interests, charm, ability, giving nature (or not), fearlessness, tact...the myriad facets that make you.
Judging people on their job is so limiting and shallow.
