Tech has never been as respected as finance, law, or medicine.
It didn't really merit the respect.
Traditional licensed engineering is harder, has higher risk, and should have been more respected. Software engineering just had unlimited supply since copying software is free so the unit economics we easy to achieve, copying a bridge has a bill of materials and construction cost and time.
Physical utility that manifest in the real world is undervalued, doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, should be more respected, and would be, in a sticks and stones and wetware human reality, early 20th century economy.
Finance and Tech are really over valued due to runaway capitalism, in a virtual and synthetic reality, of capital and debt and virtual webspace post 1980's.
