Overpaid intelligentsia.
The last time I audited a class at my alma mater, the associate professor truly saw himself as one of the elites of society and was bitter that he did not get paid enough to afford more car than his small SUV.
He spoke down to the underclassmen, saying that based on his travel to Europe, he had a more sophisticated “world view” than they.
I guess the proles are not working hard enough to prop up his salary with more tax dollars and easy student loans.
Needless to say, I’ve not been back.
