The reality is, in our current system, the harder one works the less one is going to make. For her she has a stable position in the NGO.

That's not her fault though so resenting people for who have these roles is indirectly resenting your own ability to achieve what they have. Billionaire employers are a different story because they're billionaires by virtue of those they employ. Overall the wealth gap between employers vs people like you and your friend who have to work everyday, regardless of what that entails, is wider than it's ever been. The problem isn't really that someone has a cushy job it's that those billionaires who do nothing are taxed lower than they've ever been and have your money, you're educating their future employees and they're not paying you/us a fair wage for that service they benefit from.
