2/ my amazement is of two distinct types: * do you ... do you not understand what Real Jobs are like? Have you never stood on your feet for a 10 hour shift, shelving books or opening packages or frying burgers?

3/ * WHERE DO YOU THINK THINGS COME FROM? Like, yes, these jobs are indeed physical work, but the authors seem offended that ANYONE might be asked to do a job that requires lifting things and putting them in boxes. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THINGS GET INTO BOXES?

4/ I'm hardly some child-of-cobblers, up-by-my-bootstraps story. I was born into a white collar-ish family, that was 1 generation up from blue collar. ...but even I mowed lawns, shoveled driveways (with a shovel), stocked bookshelves, etc. for money from ages 10 - 21.

5/ I'm finding it hard to understand (literally, I find this hard!) how people can be worked up that "some jobs require you to lift things and stand on your feet". I presume that both of these authors have purchased coffee at coffee shops. I presume they've seen lawns mowed.

It's because they haven't done it. I just finished a 10 hour shift. I'll wake up in 8 hours and go do it again.

Wait till they hear that in addition to standing, many people have to work in locations that do not have heating or air-conditioning and are not 72 degrees all the time.
