An airline pilot takes hundreds of hours of on-the-job demonstration of training and certification, and you are held accountable for the lives of hundreds of different people in a day where failing some jeet designed engineering failure or air traffic controller fuckup, those hundreds of innocent people are dead to the last person.
Speaking from experience, most white collar jobs can be feasibly done with a few days of the week involving you being on the job high or hungover, and fucking up at the individual level results in literally nothing of any consequence happening or noticed outside of of the four walls of that office. Nobody would ever notice or care about this guy messing up the decimal point on his data report to Bob the VP of sales other than him and Bob. Any level of pedigree will 99% have no bearing on the job where your level of competency and knowledge has no bearing on anything anywhere except in the microcosmic world of your bullshit job when failure has no consequences.
And in his case, if he fucks up, then maybe, just maybe Shekelburg Ice Cream Co sells a few units of chocolate ice cream to people who actually sometimes maybe? Buy vanilla ice cream more.
