Hi I'm new to post here, but a job is a job so it doesn't make you any more
respectable being a truck driver, an embassy employee or an English
teacher-it really doesn't matter-does it? All of this talk of which school
do you work for etc. is a lot of bollocks, and I don't really hold any more
respect for anyone else who is basically here doing a job and making ends
meet-well to make ends meet. we are all here for different reasons and work
in jobs but for any person who looks down on another persons job here-thats
sad-for me it amounts to jealousy
