Every job/service deserves a respect.

5th of January, 2022.

To survive, we all need to have something we do in exchange of money, so that we can survive and buy things we need for ourselves. That which we need to have in exchange is a job or a service rendered. As we all know, no man is an island of himself. Therefore no man can do a thousand jobs or render many services, this is why there will be different personalities either by unemployment or by choice.

One thing to note is that not everyone will engage or have some white collar jobs, these things are by choice. Even though some people finally opt in for other Jobs aside that maybe because of unemployment or frustration or some other reasons best known.

Every job or service rendered by different people is very essential no matter how clean or dirty the job may seem. For example, A banker with a supposed decent job that has a car will sometimes need the car to be washed, serviced by Engineers or need the tires to be pumped. All of these can never be done by such a banker. He/she will need the service of those people, which is also vice versa. Imagine in that situation, if there are no car engineers, vulcanizers or car cleaners, how is such a banker going to cope with the busy schedule of bankers and all.

The most irritating thing I have found some people say is that, why is it that those with the dirty jobs didn't get education or go to school. It's always painful, even if that is the reason for them ending or finding themselves in that kind of a job, which might be true to some extent back in the days but not now, because we now have more graduates in Africa at large doing those jobs because of the rate of unemployment. It still doesn't change the fact that some people are needed in that sector for things to run smoothly in the society.

The disrespect

During the total lockdown that hit the world in 2020 due to the outbreak of covid-19, I engaged myself in one of the dirty jobs because I was tired of staying indoors and I wanted to try something different. Although, I was placed in the supervising and auditing sector. This gave me the opportunity to see how people treat individuals with the tagged dirty jobs. 

There's a popular saying in business that customers are always right, yes it is true because such a firm is trying to convince the customer and sell their markets. But some customers are always eager and ready to look down and talk trash of these people which is not right. For crying out loud, these people are rendering a service to you like you also do in your different place of work.

Let's all know that these people are very essential too and they are also in their offices, no matter how dirty the environment or work may seem. We should learn to respect people for every jobs and not look down on any one, be it a driver, conductor, garbage disposers, cleaners or any other supposed dirty jobs or services. If you have been doing it, stop it and act like an educated person you claim to be. This should also be told to people.
