There are few jobs anyone should be ashamed to do, nor be shamed for doing them. I’ve been on every end of the spectrum, from toilet scrubbing, construction, concrete, factory work, landscaping, intense physical labor, forklift operator, agricultural work all the way to the upper strata of professional work. Though I knew I could do better for myself than many of the jobs I had at the time, I also knew it was up to me to credential myself to seek better opportunities. It took a good amount of time and effort, but I got there. Along the way, though, over those many years, I always did the very best I could at every job and never allowed anyone to make me feel inferior in some way.
The people that irk me are the folks who don’t have a job, can get jobs, but refuse to take the jobs because they feel they deserve better.
