I have a good degree, but I happen to live in a country that is greatly affected by the crisis and a very high rate of unemployment so I felt intimidated when I didn't have a job - even though we know 50% of the population is in the same situation. She always pointed out the above things and I could still feel comfortable with her.

I relate to your thinking: I feel "less" at times thinking that she's just a bit older than me and is wealthy (see post about free sessions, lol), married and has probably a great life full of love, people and travels. This is what I assume from what I see.
But now I take it wayyy better and have genuine admiration for my therapist, plus her attitude toward me makes me feel more like a peer and helps a lot.
I'm also aware that my sense of incompleteness and feeling less at times comes from my past of abuse and my feeling stuck in the certainty that I will never be able to have a healthy relationship and make my own loving family.
