I think if you find your job hard, demeaning, or whatever, you should go do something else. I don't get the pride some people have in how difficult their minimum wage job is, like you could do a whole lot less and make that same wage!
I am sick of this.... Look you had a job you hated, you got another one. GOOD FOR YOU.
But that does not mean someone who stays in a job you don't want or like is unworthy.
I never thought my own dishwashing was demeaning. I did find the assholes who looked down on me to be assholes.
I really hate the "starter job" BULL FUCKING SHIT...... If it is something you don't like, I get that. But who the fuck do you think is dishwashing when the high school or college kids are in school? FYI I actually dishwashed for 7 years, and up until the new owner I enjoyed what I did. I was damned good at it. What I didn't enjoy was attitudes like yours right here.
All you said in this post is that the job sucked. It is a thankless job sure, but you got another job. Truth is if the asshole who fired me had not, I would have been there a lot longer.

Agricultural labour is a miserable, demeaning, back-breaking job. I got out of it as quickly as I could.
Boru
It is "miserable" for the same reason coal miners in the late 1800s and 1900s got fucked. Because rich people made their conditions horrible.
It isn't that they don't take pride in what they do, THEY DO.
If you got out of it farm labor as quickly as you could, then again, SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, if you claim to know how hard it is.
There are still others who still do it, and have done it longer than you. DONT PISS ON THEM appreciate them.
