Addendum This is clearly a #ReasoningFallacyBiasPresentShortTermism.ist analysis, i.e. while there might be an initial advantage to completing an apprenticeship rather than an undergraduate, arts degree it's worth considering the same scenario 10, 15, 20 years into the future where Joe is still plugging away at his linesman job, and Jim is now considerably further up the career ladder - earning considerably more.

@MistiWoodiwiss [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Jeden Tag beim Durchlesen der Timeline wird mir immer wieder bewusst, wie Recht doch Vince Ebert mit seiner Einschätzung hat.
Vermeintlich intelligente Personen leben in ihrer bequemen moralinsauren Welt und wähnen sich bei den #Guten

"Every day when reading the timeline, I realize how right Vince Ebert is with his assessment.
Supposedly intelligent people live in their comfortable moral acidic world and think they are with the good woke
- no media literacy"
#IRLComedianVinceEbert
"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel discovered that humans use a large part of their intellectual capacity to find their way in their complicated social world. Why is my boss looking so weird today? What does my neighbor's innuendo mean about my new car? Is the waitress flirting with me or is she just being friendly? Our 'social' brain also checks facts from time to time. However, the question that is much more important to it is: what are the social consequences if I do or say this or that? So we have a mechanism in our heads that, when in doubt, even tells us prevents us from thinking what is right when in return it endangers our social status. This phenomenon becomes more prevalent the higher a person's social and economic status. Educated and/or wealthy people are more concerned about what others might think of their opinions. Because they have an academic reputation or a good professional position to lose. What's more, the more educated and smarter a person is, the more adept his brain is at selling him the biggest piece of nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it raises his social status. As a result, the upper educated middle class tends more to hang behind any intellectual crazy ideas than ordinary people. The American data scientist David Shor found in extensive studies that educated people hold more ideologically coherent and more extreme views than working-class people. Taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers often have much more connection to reality and common sense than professors, teachers and higher officials. The ideological follower sits less at the regulars' table and more in the lecture hall."

Addendum Ebert's explanation above is presumably comforting for those who aren't (according to his characterisation) 'educated and/or wealthy' or who have 'high social and economic status' - people, who as he characterises, are: 'taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers' i.e. that such explanations are used by those who have no hope of achieving success (financial and/or social) to bolster their confidence.

Addendum This meme reminds me of #IRLScholarBasilBernstein's explanation of the significance of education for understanding the world. And in doing so, makes inferences about the worldview of the person publishing the meme i.e. "When children fail at school, dropout, repeat, they are likely to be positioned in a factual world tied to simple operations, where knowledge is impermeable. The successful have access to the general principle, and some of these - a small number - those who are going to produce the discourse, will become aware that the mystery of discourse is not order, but disorder, incoherence, the possibility of the unthinkable. But the long socialization into the pedagogic code can remove the danger of the unthinkable, and of alternative realities" (Basil Bernstein, 1993, p.122). Bernstein, B. (1993).
