In America, every job. People make it their identity. It's the first thing they ask or tell people they meet most of the time. They make themselves what they do.
CEOs and high ranking business people, what they get to do is not work or work significantly less than a working class people therefore I have no respect for most of em
I'll cop some shit for this one, but coffee baristas.
you put some grounds in a machine, twiddle some nobs and pour milk in a wave pattern
edit: judging by the amount of downvotes ive either pissed off all the Bachelor of Arts grads working as baristas or all the coffee snobs who still think making coffee is some sort of art that can only be done by the most highly trained baristas. Yes, I also love coffee. No, making it is not some sort of complicated thing which is the point of this post (and topic of this thread), and no, I am not disparaging anyone working as a barista (unless they are an Arts grad, sorry) because a job is a job and all jobs deserve respect
Park ranger. There are two kinds: chill and friendly, or the kind that make you show all your documents, prove your park stickers are valid, make you repark your car, and then scold you for being too loud even though the next nearest campsite is several hundred feet away and nobody has complained and you arent even being loud...
Programming. People treat it like a career, but fact is that unless your really good at it, your not going to make any money from it. I've found programming to be far more like art than work anyway.
