Moving back to Poland after 20 unhappy years in Canada and USA [70]
When I say dead-end jobs, I mean jobs with no progression such as cleaners and mundane office jobs. Limited opportunities for CPD. When I said dead-end jobs, I had in mind the Polish attitude towards them as outlined in the various documentaries that I have posted. THEY see it that way.
My personal view is that many jobs serve a social utility function. Where would we be without our scaffies/rubbish collectors/trash disposal (Scottish word) and sand gritters in winter? Even those who work in the PO play an important role in the social fabric. Just because the job pays lower, doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be done. The same goes with troops abroad. The old adage, 'it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it' applies here.
As a final thought, I really believe that tolerance is needed. Sometimes, I have to teach lessons where I know that it'll be a tough hour ahead. Still, coping mechanisms allow me to ride the wave. There are bad parts to most jobs but as long as our characters are compatible with the job, there's no real 'bad' stress.
