Do you feel sad if you work as garbage collector?

that question is so important cause from more than10 years i saw Engineer on TV and he was working as garbage observer cause he didn't find any job i feel sad that day , and after a few years i found my self working in some thing like that but i was very happy , that strange don't you agree , but you will understand that recycle with electronic especial can make you rich - so you can be sad from doing what you must not do but you can change that to some thing you love and even if you didn't change that don't think that its bad you will find enshallah that its good some day

How can a man feel sad with a legal job whatever it is ,I will get any job that makes me satisfy the needs of my family or nearly the needs of it.

I will be sad if I refuse to get any legal job although my family needs expences because i feel pride and that work isn't suitable to me and walk broke without money .

i dont see anything wrong with being a garbage collector for as long as it can feed your family.... but if  your parents gave u good education, even graduated with a degree in something... i think thats a big shame on your parents who wanted  you to land a better job.

NO, especially if it is the only thing that i can do to make a living. Knowing that it is a decent, legal & real job where you can learn more about life.

it depends on who, how and why is working in this job and also depends on how you feel because it’s a very challenging job that few knows about and fewer who can succeed on it  so it depends in the personality and skills the person who’s working on and the type of challenges you’re facing, personal satisfaction and self-motivation.

 

No, because there are at least5,000,000 people around the world living hand to mouth who wish they had my job.  I have always felt blessed to have work regardless of how menial it may seem.

My father always used to tell me what ever work you decide to do when you growing up be proud of what you do, even if you become a street sweeper. Sweeping up filth. As you will always have your dignity . But don't lower your standards in life as it's better to work and earn a honest wage than joining the filth that live in the streets, commit crime and carry diseases. They are the scum of the earth.

yes,i will feel sad if i work as it but i see that it not bad job

In such a competitive market nowadays, we might stumble of stories like this. It was quite unfortunate for that engineer but he can take that as a challenge to be better. He can use his skills and knowledge with whatever position he is in, he can design or make a machine for a better waste disposal process, or an innovative state of the art garbage truck. There are numerous ways on how to achieve in life by using whatever you have at the moment. In time, after hardwork and perseverance, you'll get the job that you always dreamed of, nothing comes easy that's why you have to strive for it.

 

I will not feel bad if I am in his position.

 

Doing a job that you're happy with but is not what you studied for, is better than pushing through with your profession with an unhappy will and mind. Besides, garbage collectors are one of those unsung heroes that we have in our society. I admire those people because they chose to live a noble and decent simple life instead of selling drugs, robbing people, or doing crimes. There is nothing wrong with whatever job you're doing, for practicalities, you also need to have a job that suffices your needs, your family's needs, and your own self fulfillment and happiness, if these three things are met, then there is nothing to be embarassed about or to be ashamed about with whatever job you are doing.

The true dignity of work is not in the type of work that one does but the enthusiasm and interest one show to do the work assigned. In other words, self-conviction of one's work and intimate trust in one to carry on the work in a desired manner with originality, creativity, devotion and enthusiasm determine the level of satisfaction.

 

Everyone has a job to accomplish with dignity. This division of labour is for the proper functioning. Moreover, we should keep in mind that everyone is not capable of doing all sorts of work. God created each one in a unique way and gave unique talents and abilities to everyone.

 

Honest labour is also praise and a prayer to God. Great civilization and culture are always the fruit of great toil and labour. Every duty is holy and devotion to duty is the highest form worship of God.
