up there

phrase

In a position of prominence or importance. I'd always considered astrology bullshit, right up there with the legal, real estate and banking businesses in terms of thieving ass-sucking charlatanry, but it's clear I've been doing it a misservice.
Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see up, there.
