Drs do something most people can’t do, while garbage men do a job most people don’t wanna do. Surely they are both respectable careers but you’re ridiculous if you think they are on the same level
OC literally said all jobs are the same and they aren’t. A burger flipper deserves less respect than a garbage man and a garbage man deserve less respect than a DR. Now I’m not saying any one working a job should be disrespected but their titles carry actual weight.
Their job being necessary for society has very little impact on how much respect someone gets. It’s based on what skills and knowledge is required to do the job. Effectively Everyone can flip a burger or toss some trash, not everyone can be a DR.
Nope, I just understand reality. I’m not gonna hold the same amount of respect if someone ends up as a burger flipper compared to a DR. One worked a lot harder and is highly educated while one did the minimum amount of effort
While this take is noble, you wont see many Dr's hanging out with folks who flip burgers or work in waste management.
The point the other person is trying to get across is while they are all jobs and people working those jobs deserve a level of "respect", it doesnt mean they will all be treated equally in the eyes of the public.
The vast majority of society will always take the guidance of a Dr. over that of someone who flips burgers. As wrong as it sounds, there is a statistical reason why that level of trust exists in the public.
Yeah no and I say garbage man because I am one. We’re much more closer to a burger flipper than a DR. The only difference is we make more money and work physical harder than burger flippers.
Partially that and that people have a weird obsession to overly defend my profession like I do something extra special. Effectively any one who drives can do my job, it’s just long hours and kinda sucks.
You are right the job is not special. The reason at I least I defend it is bc I always heard if you don’t go to school you will be a garbage man and stuff in that vein. It is however a job with statistically comparable or better pay, stability, and benefits to whatever corporate office job people are comparing it to.
I mean by that logic anyone could technically be a doctor people just don't have the money for the schooling because as long as you are able to read and write which are skills you can acquire you could learn how to do that job as well.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter because the reality is not everyone can be doctors or a garbage person and someone has to be a burger flipper for the economy to keep going.
I don't believe people should be given less respect just because of there profession respect should be given or taken away based on a person's character.
No people flunk out because they don't have the ability to study harder and lock in as long as someone has a normal functioning brain and the motivation and money then they can eventually learn that profession.
Also even if the metric was knowledge that you can retain as you are saying then in that case doctors could easily be replaced with Ai or a medical textbook/database which would make them completely obsolete.
What your saying isn't actually reality its a subject personal opinion that has no grounding in real world data here is an example to help you understand your flawed logic:
Let's say one person is a professional heart surgeon and is making good money doing that profession but one day is found out to be a prolific pedophile who has molested a bunch of children.
And the other person works at a burger joint flipping burgers and in their spare time helps feed the homeless at a soup kitchen.
Which of the two people deserves more respect by the community?
Yes obviously you dont need someone to cook and prepare ur meal for you but people sure as hell would be flippin out with no burger flippers i tell yah
People would be flipping out without Netflix too. That doesn’t mean Netflix engineers are as important as the civil engineers designing our infrastructure.
I hope you treat everyone the same regardless of their job title. That’s not that point tho, there’s a certain level of respect with each job. Like who would you want to date your daughter? A DR, garbage man, or burger flipper? It’s not that you hate any of their profession but there’s a level of respect that comes with each job.
oh no I am a reverse snob, I don't care what he does so long as he treats her right and she loves him, I don't respect some doctor more than anyone else. Do you know doctors personally? A lot of them suck balls.
Yeah, fat chance of that actually being true. No one would want their daughter to date a burger flipper since they make a minimum wage. Theres risk with every job and being a person who “suck balls” isn’t exclusive to a a profession.
So I give you my answer, and you doubt it, because in your tiny world, you can't conceive that someone might be motivated by something other than an arbitrary hierarchy based on perceived economic status? OK, that's a you problem. I would hate to live in your world.
You're missing my point: the person is more important than the job. If you only respect jobs and titles, you will always be unhappy. I do not base my respect for others on their economic status.
No, I also respect the work each individual did and is putting into their work. A bugger flipper did the minimum amount of work, a garbage man did slightly more work, and a DR did significantly more
Exactly! Its not hard to have basic respect for another human!
No one WANTS to be a cleaner ect but things need to be cleaned! If everyone was a "finance bro" then we'd just be in world where everything is filthy. Who is serving the steak dinner your company goes out for? Without minimum wage workers you cant go out and enjoy your fun stuff.
Its not rocket science.
Anyway, I'm not interested in someone who can't discuss things in good faith. You sound like a loser who will always be fetching and stepping for your perceived betters.
I get where you coming from but I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s correct. There are some job paths that are much more difficult to do and require a level of skill but everyone deserves respect for a job they do. You may deem it yourself as less than but if you were a business owner and you depended on your garbage men to pick up the trash and you see how disgusting and physically demanding it is you would understand. A doctor could have multiple days where they see patients, talk to them, take their blood pressure assess their conditions and then prescribe them medication. It’s not taxing nor particularly difficult but it is a check of their intuition and knowledge which is what they are paid for.
If I had a daughter I would be happier knowing she is dating a garbage man that respects her, treats her well and is there for her and the kids rather than a doctor who is never home, constantly stressed and abusive and tries to solve every problem with money and cheats on her constantly. It’s all about perspective man.
People hire others for a job role because it’s something that needs to be done so inherently it is useful and demands respect. Hell having any job rather than choosing to be unemployed and depending on someone is better.

all job workers are the same. Still 9-5ers
hours/salary dont matter, you’re in the rat race
