A thought on shit jobs

15 Comments

This is just a thought that came to me the other day. Do you know how actors say "there are no small parts, only small actors"? Well, I was thinking:

There are no shit jobs, only shit people.

Agree?

    There are people who shovel manure for a living. And someone has to clean out bathrooms...those are quite literally shit jobs.

    I'm pretty sure that some jobs are legitimately shit but for the most part, yeah, it's about attitude

    I wouldn't go so far as to call someone shit for thinking their job is shit, but a shit attitude yeah.

    Ha, no, I don't agree. I don't really understand, though. I would actually be over the moon to get a shit job right now, but I don't think I'm a shit person. Anyway, I don't understand saying there are no small parts, or no shit jobs. Some parts ARE small and some jobs ARE shit.

    Or does it mean that it's only a shit job if you make it one:S? Like some sort of attitude thing?

      You got it on the last part. It means exactly that attitude thing.

        Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking you meant more of an ambition thing, which seems to be a commonly held perspective but I don't see it holding up. Even if everyone wanted to be a doctor or lawyer or CEO, someone still has to pump the gas and flip the burgers.

    A job is a job is a job. Some jobs are better than others, obviously, but I wouldn't look down on anyone who works for a living, regardless of what it is.

      *grabs a stick and beats your children with it*

      *walks over to your wife*
      *holds already bloody stick to her neck*

      What was that about turning gay?

    Would this apply to slaves? I have to disagree. There are literally some shit jobs

      I just had this strange image cross my mind... A bunch of slaves standing in a line, say, on a farm, armed with their résumés, as nicely dressed and well combed as they could be, applying for such position.

      I don't think slavery categorizes as a profession.

          What about it? It's a profession just like any other. A paid occupation. ;)

            Not for "sex slaves" from other countries tricked into coming to new country and then forced into sex work.

    I'm not going to debunk this because it did make me laugh a lot. Do you mind if I pass it on? I know some other people who'd laugh too.
