Besides the fact that it's based on a strawman fallacy, the whole thing is oversimplified.

Education matters. Industry matters (working in, for example, energy industry vs print journalism or food service). Networking matters. Luck matters, too. I include opportunity as luck, which I assume you equate with privilege. You can't insist that luck is a factor but also deny that these other things matter, which is what you're doing by oversimplifying and creating this strawman argument.

I have a feeling you've never actually heard anyone try to quantify the hardness of their work and compare it to someone else's... aka this post is useless hot air
