Professional hierarchy?
Why do I have such a professional hierarchy in my brain? CEO at the top, domestic help at the bottom. Doctor would also be very high up, lawyer very high up, and academic professions in general very high up.
Skilled tradesmen are somewhere in the middle. Unskilled work, of course, is right at the bottom; it's not really a profession. Is this hierarchy justified?
So at the very bottom would be cleaning lady and domestic help, anyone can do that, and you can use cheap people from abroad, paid in cash, of course.
Yes, illegal work and all that, but nobody will be willing to pay a lot of money for a cleaning lady or household help when you can get it cheap, almost for free.
That's pretty elitist, isn't it? But I mean, society doesn't treat cleaning ladies or domestic helpers well either.
Is this classification into status bad or good?
Depends on how you focus.
I have lawyers in my acquaintance who have to work between 60 and 80 hours a week. In my eyes, those in the hierarchy of the working bees are at the bottom.
I also have a former primary student in my circle of friends who started a lesson at 15 years, made his masters, then became a senior employee, made his technician and was subsequently sent by his company abroad to build a factory with 400 employees. In my eyes, the one in the hierarchy stands at the top.
Depends on how you weight.

What can a cleaning lady do?
Clean 40 hours a week and take care of their family for the rest of the 128 hours – just differently from CEOs (which create their job more often than the average of the population only thanks to drug use)
These are parttime jobs that are married and life from the man’s money.
If (unfortunate) is in a kind of social norm, it gradually changes. Can you decide for yourself whether people should be better or worse due to the profession, but it doesn’t really make sense
Why would you pay for household aid?
They work no less than other professions and the work is equally exhausting
It is much more true.
Of course, you should treat all people – no matter what they work – with respect.
Nevertheless, cleaning women or employees of McDonalds are usually people who have not found their dream job, but who have found nothing better. At least I don’t think there are many who volunteer to do such a red job for their life.
It would be good if the cleaning women were standing up in your head.
Why? Everyone can

If I were a clean man, I’d have to figure out how dirty to be treated.
Personally, I find it bad to think in such structures. When I get to know people, man is important to me, not his job.
When I walk through the halls at work, the CEO is greeted as kindly by me as the cleaning staff, all have to do their job well so that the store is running and you are satisfied.
This is how I gained an important professional contact. Almost everyone has joined him, at an event, who knows how. I accidentally met him at the buffet, treated completely normal, answered his question for food (he could not read a sign) and then proceeded with eating. He was positively surprised that I didn’t try a crusty conversation with him, after which he followed me and we talked about 30 minutes at dinner. My colleagues were speechless, as I managed to make him sit with me, especially since I was completely down in the hierarchy at the time. He also came to me several times at other appointments after that in order to greet me personally, as so positively remembered. Because he was glad to be treated normally.
I’m trying to see people, no status.
