Why do people look down on those in low skilled jobs?

[Anonymous]

Would you look down on someone in low skilled work? I find people who work in Academic jobs to look down on those in low skilled manual work? What’s your opinion?

I'm pretty sure I've done that. To a cleaning lady or something. But y'know, I try to remember to just be courteous to anybody... to most people, lol (I'm not always courteous). But yes.

Just ad I've looked down on people whose job is very academic. I kinda look down on them for being annoyingly pretentious and whatever.

I have not but people do because those jobs are low salary and without any prestige.

I never do that because that is how I started.
