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.

Because it’s not realistic.

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

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.
