[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 1086483, member: 30532"] I am a PT peasant. Do I like my job? Some days, while others I remember I am still young, athletically talented and am "wasting" it on moving boxes to generate profits for a company in which I don't even own stock. I enjoy the people I've met inside, a lot are my type of people. Hard work is on equal footing with intellectual work in my book. You pay a different price and flex different muscle. I always get a kick out of people pushing themselves not because they have to but because they have no other option, it is just who they are as a human. I need to laugh when I see people here say they don't deserve their pay. A sheep mentality at the core. Working an 8 hour+ day wearing yourself out physically versus crunching numbers at a desk after obtaining a BS in a field. If I was going for easy I'd pick the brain workout. Draining your body every single day is not an easy thing, yet you've been told all your life menial labor is not on par with academia. And you believe it. Everything is relative and the system is setup to hold one thing in higher regard than another just because. Brain muscle vs skeletal muscle, the brain has the ability to voice its opinion in the matter. It saddens me when I see some of you claim you don't deserve your pay because it doesn't require a degree. A lot of you will be physically broken men by the time you reach retirement. Just because society claims hard labor isn't on par with other endeavors doesn't make it true. Shadows and dust you [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]ers, have some self respect. As far as the union is concerned, the lack of merit to get ahead is not a positive in my opinion. It is a double-edged sword though, because without the union the brain muscles "above you" would tell you that you're worth [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] and will be compensated like a pyramid builder because you're skill-less and they are superior.
