Maybe they are, in this fucked up world. You see, biggest issue we have are professionals who don't create any value. Politicians, lawyers, clerks, economists. There is no visible end product of their work, it is all virtual. And not in a good sense of being virtual, like worlds or tools created by programmers. What humanity needs to do, is to purge non creative professionals.

Edit: My country has hundreds of thousands of people who studied law and economy. Managers of all sorts, government workers, lawyers, those kind of people. Because of that we lack skilled workers, those who carry economy forward by creating something. We just can't pay all them wankers, because we have no industry, no proper economy. If it was up to me, I would close down all schools which aren't producing workers. Until we reach some balance.
