I get the opporunity to have one of the best jobs on the planet (in my opinion!). I work of course, but that's part of the deal. It isn't "selling myself short" -- I worked for what I have, but it doesn't make me less privledged to have it.
Getting a scholarship, getting into a good program, earning awards -- all privledges. People than have a responsibility in return to use them well.

I'm not sure if maybe you're book smart or you had something else going for you that brought you luck (sports, minority status, first in your family to go to college, from a non-feeder state, or just nice boobs or something).
I'm of the opinion that I worked for what I got and that's that.
