I literally couldn't pick Rand out of a line-up (never met him or saw a picture) but I may know his type. It's the highly educated and intelligent person who, for various reasons, isn't making the kind of money they think they should.
Since they are educated and intelligent, the fact that they aren't as financially blessed as they should be can't possibly be their fault. Therefore, others must be blamed.
The very real-world factors of luck (good and bad) don't seem to be acceptable factors. Although, it is easier to accept luck as an answer if you've had good luck.
