Which is a more degrading
occupation? A stripper or an office worker?
Apparently, they both suck. In A former female tech worker turned exotic dancer says both are‘degrading in their own ways,’ we are told both jobs leave "Tiffany" unhappy.
I couldn’t agree more. I remember
when I made the transition from stripper to administrative assistant that I had
moments where I would wonder which was worse—dancing naked for dollars or
fetching coffee and faxing for dollars.
“Degrading” could be seen by
another individual as an entirely different occupation.
A lot of it has to do with the eye
of the beholder, or in this case, the eye of the worker. Different things make
people feel shame or humiliation.
Of course, there are certain tasks
or how someone is spoken to that can inherently up the degrading factor, (like being called names, having drinks
poured on you, or being asked to, ahem,
for $20), but we all have different tolerance levels.
Have you ever had a job that you
felt was degrading that didn’t involve shedding clothes?
