Repeat with me, class: There are no bad jobs, only bad conditions

No shit jobs only shit wages.

No this can only be spoken by those in profound ignorance or utter stupidity. There are bad jobs. Go look up sewage cleaner in India. No amount of money is worth that. There will always be shit jobs.

Kind of a bad argument. "Look up sewage cleaner in India" implies that there are sewage cleaners elsewhere with better jobs. Making the problem with being a sewage cleaner in India a bad condition.

Ironically I agree with you. Some jobs are way better than others, making some jobs bad and some good. A garbage man will always be a worse job than an ice cream taste tester barring absurd caveats. it's just funny to me that your argument explicitly implies a problem with job conditions.

Go look up sewage cleaner in India. No amount of money is worth that.

That's just untrue. There is definitely some amount of money worth it.

For sure. If I got paid a million dollars a week I would do it for a couple weeks to then not have to work again the rest of my life lol. But seriously, there are lots of jobs that don't pay what they should for how crappy the work is
