> but it seems very wrong to me that the electronic-gentry portion of society is comprised of people sitting in air-conditioned offices thinking "god, I'd never work outside"

I had a part time job planting trees in high school. I knew I got into a good university and part of me was feeling like I was privileged to be able to go to college when the other people I was working with might not have the same opportunity.

But then I heard one of them say "thank God I'll be graduating soon and won't have to do school work anymore."

And realized they had zero interest in pursuing the path I was on.
