Our society seems to have launched a war against work. We’ve become obsessed with certain jobs and have developed complete disdain for others. It’s such backwards thinking. Why is it that we’ll stand in line for hours for a chance to watch a popular singer perform for thousands, but we view the person selling the singer’s concert tickets or serving us a meal as “less” of a person?
The most recent example of this was the attempt to shame actor Geoffrey Owens, of The Cosby Show fame, for holding down a job as a bagger at Trader Joe’s. Photos were secretly snapped of him on the job and went viral on social media, designed to show a man who had fallen to an all-time low.
