You hit the nail on the head there. IT professionals can be some of the most awful, power-hungry, immoral bastards I've met, and they'll try to put down anyone who might threaten their "superiority". The whole culture is so toxic everyone got gaslighted into thinking they're some sort of special wizard-jedi-ninja-rockstar who knows better than everyone - yet they're just another coding-monkey that will be quickly replaced when the next wave of layoff hits.I can why IT jobs get disrespected if your own mentality is to gatekeep your own job.
My experience with IT (i dabbled in it before changing careers) was that it was super polar. You had super great and super shit and little in between.You hit the nail on the head there.

Seriously, fuck IT people (before anyone asks, I work on IT as well).
Paid Tutoring is not College Classes. It's akin to a single Community College course at best, which means it's very much based on one's personal effort. It also presumes that you need professional help after making an effort yourself or having some reference and basis, because teaching you from scratch is essentially writing a one on one college course, which there's no money for.Literally what is the point of being a tutoring if you’re gonna discriminate based on experience?
Who’s actually gonna keep coming back after a free session, someone with experience who knows how to look up their problems or someone who doesn’t even know where to start?

Yeah, it looked like the tutor guy's prior experiences with lazy colleagues colored his perception of the newbie -- who, admittedly, had a pretty defeatist attitude. Thankfully, Satou was around to help correct both of their mindsets.Paid Tutoring is not College Classes.

Discriminating based on one's perceived desire to care is wrong, but I can understand why the guy is a bit jaded.
Yeah, honestly Suzuki's initial judgement wasn't incorrect of who he was; the issue was that he was being too self-defeating and had too little self-esteem, which Satou managed to break through with her hopeful mindset by reaching out to him with that initial query and response setup to help him get over his self-doubts. He's still in the same place he was in before, functionally, but with a much better outlook because he now has some self-confidence.Yeah, it looked like the tutor guy's prior experiences with lazy colleagues colored his perception of the newbie -- who, admittedly, had a pretty defeatist attitude.
