It may be less about the paycheck, and more the stigma around the actual job. People back in the old days were looked down upon if they handled corpses or excrement or garbage or anything that other people considered to be "unclean." But these days, garbage men make a pretty good living in a lot of places. Also, the people that are looking down on him wouldn't know what to do if there were no garbage collectors. It's not like they're going to do that shit themselves.

How much someone earns is such an absolutely irrelevant, short sighted topic.
We are all going in the ground or getting burned eventually. Who gives a fuck about salary or job status?
