This is such a sad realization. As a software engineer I didn't really do anything to deserve the income. I work less hard than a lot of people and I'm valued more, for the sole reason that the computer can scale in a way a hammer cannot. I'm here largely because my parents went to college and encouraged me as a child to be an engineer. I didn't earn any of this.
