And? Hairdressers can't work at start-ups?

I get very tired of comments like this that imply that working at a start-up or software company is somehow "better" than working at other jobs, especially those that require a reasonable level of skill.

Please don't look down on people.

EDIT: Hmm, I suppose the point is that a hairdresser doesn't have the range of skills a start-up should be interested in. But still, it reads poorly.

I read it as "people in unrelated professions can have good attitudes too", i.e. "skill matters".
