Mainly because in his experience, a lot of people there are spoiled, entitled brats who dont want to work hard. He believes that those jobs do not teach you real work ethic and its pampered and cushy all around.
He also says thats the reason people like them talk down to customer service people. His definition of real jobs are jobs where you work your ass off like food service, customer service, construction, transportation, etc. I hate to be that guy but from my experiences working in offices. I kind of agree with him. --- Pinoy Pride, 1988 - the day I die! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've worked blue collar and white collar jobs, and I can tell you -- as will anyone that's ever worked a blue collar job -- that it's full of lazy motherfuckers too.

Either you have difficult to achieve responsibilities at your job or you don't. Having any job where you are easily replaceable and don't bring any particular skills to the table, at a desk or on a jobsite, just teaches you to be walked all over.

Bro, when HR tells you to do something it's not because they want to go out there and fuck up the day, it's because the company is fucking up their day by telling them to go fuck up yours. You're getting mad at a messenger, not the message or who it's even actually coming from. --- *runs out of topic naked* ... Copied to Clipboard!

So is the criteria difficulty or is it specialization? And why does it keep shifting as more scrutiny is applied to the concept of a "real" job his point sounds pretty clear IMO. A real job is a job thats difficult, not a job thats easy and that you can coast on which basically are most office jobs. lets be honest. he has a point. its exactly why most cushy office job workers behave like spoiled brats. they dont know a damn thing about working hard. --- Pinoy Pride, 1988 - the day I die! ...

his point sounds pretty clear IMO. Your "friends dad" sounds suspiciously like you. And again, having worked white collar jobs and blue collar jobs where I was literally filling sandbags day in and day out, blue collar jobs have just as many lazy motherfuckers coasting through the job.
