Educated - Ego Problem

A fictitious situation.

You are having a white collar job. Manager, Softare Engineer etc.

Spent a lot of time, money and enery becoming a professional. Your are stressed daily with deadlines, work pressures, long working hours, no weekends etc. For all the trouble, trauma and pain you undergo, you get a paycheck of X amount.

Suddenly the trade of Janitor/Housekeeping comes in great demand. Companies are ready to shell out huge amount of money. The paycheck is more than 10 times what you current white collar job gives you. Work is only 8 hours. No pressure. No deadline.

Would you accept the position? Would you be prepared to work as Janitor? No.
You got to be kidding when saying No to a super duper unbelievable offer. You will do the work of Janitor for 9 hours and you will live like a King for the remaining 15 hours of the day. Still, you are opting to choose the white collar job with all the stinking policies and procedures.

Well, is that what you call a Ego Problem as a result of your education.
Hmmm. you seem to be truly educated! Are you?
