In the US, there is a huge cultural and economic divide between the processional/educated class vs. the low-skilled class, whereas elsewhere in the world not so much. In the US, the goal or aspiration is to escape being working class, as epitomized by the likes of JD Vance and others, whereas elsewhere being working class is not something to be so ashamed of or to escape from.
If JD Vance epitomizes anything then it might be something very close to the "bullshit" considered in TFA. He writes as if from Appalachia while in reality he was raised in suburban western Ohio. Mostly he just writes to confirm that everything is fine in the land of capital and we really don't want to inconvenience rich people like his boss Peter Thiel.
Skill is a matter of practice (even if you have natural talent). I know plenty of very skilled people that earn less than they are worth. I know plenty of educated people that are unprofessional and earn more than they are worth. The world just is not a fair place.
