I don't know if this is true for everyone, but sometimes I get the impression of a weird class/prestige thing where PhDs are "scientists" and lab technicians are not. Despite the fact that technicians often earn co-authorship and that PhD students do a lot of "grunt work."

If a software company had most of its code written by unpaid interns, whose official primary task was to apply for being managers, and the handful of actual full-time software engineers were treated like second-class citizens...we'd think that was pretty dysfunctional.
