WILLY: How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farmhand? In the beginning, when he was young, I thought, well, a
young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to
make thirty-five dollars a week!
LINDA: He’s finding himself, Willy.
WILLY: Not finding yourself at the age of thirty-four is a disgrace!

In this quote, willy is looking down on Biff because he doesn't make as much money as Willy thinks he should. This happens in The Great Gatsby too, when the elite class in East Egg don't see the lower class people as equals
