Yeah I'm a bit curious about this too.

I recall some studies showing even just folks at strip clubs enduring a lot of emotional pain and etc. Is it the job, is it the folks who take those jobs? I don't know but I'm skeptical about "It's simply a job." kind of blanket deceleration.

Human sexuality is hardly like typing on a keyboard or etc... I don't buy into just declaring it like any other job. Granted I don't care to stigmatize those folks either, but that statement seems somewhat dangerous / off the mark.



Well there are many jobs, not all of which are comfortable keyboard jobs.

If you work with the elderly, especially in dementia care, included in your job description is mopping up piss and shit. You'll also receive all manner of verbal and physical abuse.

It is absolutely degrading.

So it's retail work with better pay.
