It's a perfect comparison, but unfortunately the world is different now, dynamic, and that brings us back to those people who use other means that don't require as much study. It's fine that they manage to monetize somehow, they're smart and all, but I still get upset when I see people who gave their all to their studies and are struggling or earning little, but anyway, that's life, and it's unfair.
