[quote=Anonymous]Neither of these things is impressive to me. "Impressive" indicates doing something challenging that has real value. Being born rich obviously doesn't qualify -- those people didn't do anything. A prestigious career may or may not qualify, depends on the career. I am not impressed by most careers in corporate law or finance because I feel they offer minimal benefit to society, though they are prestigious. Meanwhile, I think school teachers who are really good at their job and take it seriously are impressive, but their jobs are not prestigious. Then there are jobs that are both prestigious and impressive, like being a successful surgeon or writing a series of well-regarded books on science or history. Simply being rich is not impressive, though it is nice.[/quote]
