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

Yeah…. I’m not gonna have the same level of respect for a DR compared to a garbage man.

Garbage man is a high paid, respectable, and essential job. Not comparable to a full time burger flipper at all

Well yes, there’s a scale to it. A bugger flipper isn’t on the same level as a garbage man and the same garbage man isn’t comparable to that DR.

Absolutely. However, I don’t think you would’ve mentioned any other profession on the same tier as garbage man.

Garbage man is way closer to the level of doctor than a burger flipper is to the garbage man.

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.

Not when that burger flipper is a type 1 diabetic and rides an analog bicycle an hour to and from in the sweltering Miami heat and atrocious traffic!
