Imo, it is because those jobs are gatekept for specific kinds of people. It is not about the difficulty. In fact, the more education, the easier the jobs get because the lowest class is assigned all the hard manual labor like farming, cleaning, etc. The credentialist system is designed specificaly for inequality and exclusion
It’s just a different kind of difficulty, and of course not all jobs are created equal. But ultimately this rhetoric is the kind of thing the capitalists want. They want to pit “lower class” against “upper class”, when in reality, these distinctions are entirely irrelevant and it’s actually “the billionaire oligarchy squeezing every last drop out of the rest of us”. If you work for a living, you are “low class”.
