Job Discrimination
I noticed this poster at school today before my class:
One thing I was slightly frustrated by was that it was yet another example of where people discriminate against certain jobs. “Waiting on people”? It’s not just another summer job–a lot of people are career waiters and would be offended that it was included on a list of implied “bad jobs.” “Answering phones” and “shuffling paper” describes the work that most secretaries and office assistants perform. I understand that a camp may allow you to “make a difference,” but I’d like to think that the people who are performing the “bad list” jobs are also making a difference.
