  I respect people, who can hold any profession, and be proud of what they do.
  
  Even road-sweepers who can hold their head up, and not only do a good job but are experts in handling all types of brooms.
  
  Whatever one does in life, be a master of it. DO Not let what you do in life, become a master of you.

  wow... lots of people replied.
  
  what i notice is people say they respect those works won't be done by them at all, like toilet cleaner, road sweeper, ...
  
  is this respect? put it this way, your children one day telling you that they want to become toilet cleaner, road sweeper. Would you respect their decision?

  Any job that puts someone in a leadership postion and must decide the life and death of someone else is a respectable job....would you be able to call a decision that would risk the life of your patients if you're a doctor....men, if you're a soldier...for the greater good of everyone?

  - Road Sweepers
  - Garbage Collectors
  - Bus Drivers
  - Toilet Cleaners
  
  Without them, what do you think will happen?

  Everybody:
  
  To me, what a person does to make a living does not matter (of course not those calssified as vice).
  
  What counts to me, is that the person is able to survive doing what he/she does.
  
  I like to fall back on basics; a willingness to toil for a better future, far outshines those who has established themselves.
  
  I said before, and I'll say again; once your up, next is down.
  
  Hence, if you have reached the very height of your career or have achieved all goals and objectives in life, it's time you're about to see the EXIT sign glowing ever closer....

  So yu respect them as a profession...but will you choose to enter it? I think many of us will say we respect nurses but given a choice would prefer to be a cabinet minister

  I feel I don't have that kind of quality to be able to reach that kind of expectation from the occupation...
