Overcoming the stigma of odd jobs

Odd jobs are often looked down upon by society, with people implying that those who engage in such work are not successful or accomplished. However, this viewpoint is flawed and unfair. The reality is that people who do odd jobs are often hard-working individuals who are simply trying to make ends meet. They are doing what they can to earn a living and should be respected for their efforts. It’s ironic that people will admire foreigners who do odd jobs, such as working as a waiter or driver, but look down upon their fellow countrymen who do the same work. Unfortunately, it’s all too common to hear people making fun of those who work in certain professions, for instance being a tuition teacher (tuition wali baji ho tum tou), Careem driver(careem chalatay ho?? Driver ho?), or waiter(waiter kahan se ban gye tum?).This double standard is not only unjust but also reflects a lack of empathy and understanding. It’s important to recognize that everyone has different circumstances and priorities, and we should not judge others based on their profession or income. It is worth noting that many people who take on odd jobs are students who are working to support themselves while pursuing their education. This is something that should be commended rather than criticised. If you are fortunate enough to have the luxury of travelling in your father’s luxurious car and having fun on his dime, while looking down upon those who work hard to earn a living, then you should be the one feeling ashamed of yourself. It is important to remember that without your father’s financial support, you may find yourself in a position even lower than those whom you judge. Therefore, we should always be respectful and empathetic towards all individuals who are doing their best to earn an honest living. At the end of the day, it’s essential to value and appreciate all types of work. No job is too small or unimportant. In short, instead of mocking or looking down on others for their professions, we should strive to be more open-minded and empathetic. We should celebrate all forms of honest work and recognize the value that each person brings to our society.
