Both professions contribute immensely to humanity every day. One of these professions is paid way more than the other, as if it were more showy and glamerous than the other, but both are very much needed in this world. I don't think one is more showy than the other.

Certainly the engine-steering one--glamorous and fabulous--lots of spotlights showering, as of bamboo shoots flowering~

being lecture in university :)

I think I would look up to and appreciate any of those if the person were actually good at those jobs and did them with responsibility and out of love for helping society.

None is showy!
