    This is the equivalent of “you don’t want to be like that Janitor over there” energy. Needlessly mean to a specific class or profession because they don’t see it as valued.

      Nobody respected the janitorial staff at my high school until they went on strike. Shit went downhill FAST.

        Maybe that should be a thing. Once every 2-4 years the janitors go on strike so kids develop an appreciation for blue collar work. It would be random within that timeframe though so it couldn’t really be prepared for.

      Yeah, teach sounds like a dick. A HS physics teacher doesn’t even make that much more than a GM at McDicks and probably less than a McD District Manager. Sounds like the teacher should’ve made better career choices, maybe they’d be a physicist instead of just teaching. You know what they say: Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
