Careful.
When you enter the professional world you are employed (given a paycheck) to be part of a team, and your team is expected to achieve goals. It takes effort by
all team members to achieve those goals and this makes
all team members valuable and important, regardless of whether they are software engineers, hardware engineers, qa, documentation, marketing, customer support, managers, administrative assistants, etc.
Or even the FIRST team member who orders the pizza when the team is working late.
