Tinder - being a job snob?

I’m new back to the dating game but have caught myself a lot lately swiping left on people based on their jobs. My relationships in the past have all been with working professionals and I enjoyed being able to chat work to a small degree in the evenings - one ex was a lawyer and so I always founds his stories from work fascinating. I like to be challenged and want to be with someone who is on the same level intellectually (or slightly more intelligent than me) as I find it an attractive trait. So long story short, I’ve found myself swiping left on manual labourers or personal trainers for example, not because I think that they can’t be intelligent (please, give me a break!) but I just can’t inagine us having much in common on that level - I’m not a gym goer and I find a man in a suit with a high powered job attractive. Long story short - am I being unreasonable or is it understandable enough and a good way to sift through potential matches from the get-go?

That’s why they ask the question, so you can filter based on your preferences.
