Some people like doing work like that, the thing is just that these jobs are treated like trash and underpaid

[-] themachine@lemm.ee 16 points 7 months ago

You know, that’s a great point. I’d totally do a “shit job” if it paid decent and be a ton happier. I’m trying to organize and lead and only doing it for the money, and I hate it.

Yup. There's an appeal to a simple job that you can just do and no larger stress beyond the physical. But if that job involves waste of assorted kind, then you gotta pay enough and treat people with dignity.

I enjoyed working as a dishwasher, but I'm 6'3 so my back hated it.

Everything in this world was made for someone at least 6 inches shorter than me.

For me it's more of a neck problem usually when I'm cooking or washing dishes and I'm only 6'

Liking something and settling for something are very different things. Most of society is built up around excellence and providing those who can with opportunities to do so.

The big issue with this is that it can make tons of people feel guilty for never living up to their aspirations. Mediocrity is frowned upon yet it's the majority of the bell curve.

Go to a job you don't hate, don't hurt others, enjoy life when you can.

Everyone respects a person who is doing a job well.

It’s only when people aren’t, that we notice at all.

Not everyone wants to get the "greatest" career path with getting a bachelor etc, sadly I don't really have anything outside of anectdotal evidence that there are really people that prefer doing a job like garbage worker or cleaner.

I don't really get what you are trying to say

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

You can say things without a point, or dis/agreement to someone else.

I know but what you are replying to my comment so I was searching for a point
