    I think this pretty much applies to all fields. Everything looks complicated and hard to outside people, but once you get into the field, you realize that most people are just average.

      Plus with very specialized fields you get the effect of “really great at this one thing and absolutely nothing else”.

      If that One Thing ends up being worth a lot of money, these people often end up with a SUPER inflated sense of self importance…
