I'm not judging you Fragony.

I'm the first one in my family who went to university and was probably raised with prejudices and misconceptions (maybe inspired by jealousy) towards people who are financially well off. Despite now being one of those people myself (I'm not rich, but I can pay the bills, have enough left for savings and am debt free, exception for the mortgage), some of those viewpoints are still a strong part of me. I also think that it weren't all misconceptions and baseless prejudices. I'm fully aware that I'm still tied firmly into my roots and I know that I have to be careful not to be too prejudiced or to even look down on people who are on the luckier side of society financially speaking (even though I'm now on that same side).

That said, I do know quiet a few people who are now in a good paying office job and look down at people who clean or work in construction (some of them were already like that while being a student and it weren't always the rich kids who had that attitude). That's why I think all in a high paying job should clean toilets every week; firstly because money and status have a tendency to change people in an ugly way and secondly to make sure that people who stand higher in the social ranking don't get too disconnected with those who are struggling to make a living every day.
