I definitely agree with you, I wouldn’t want to be working as a waitress once I graduate college. You go to college to get some high power kind of job. Waitress is nothing to be ashamed of but I don’t think I would want to have that as a job forever. I don’t think it would make me very happy. Well I see or talk to people who are waitresses, they always seem really mad because people are always so mean to waitresses. I don’t want people to be mean to me. But people aren’t really mean to doctors or CEOs of giant corporations.

            But I think it would really suck to have to take these courses in college like organic chemistry or statistics just so you end taking some bratty teenagers order. You would have broken your brain thinking about all these number and formulas and you end up never using it ever again, I would feel really frustrated and incredibly angry. If I spent all my time, money, and energy on learning all this material, I better be using this knowledge all the time or at least in my career.

            I don’t consider customer service industry workers to “mindless” like Peter Drucker says. You have to a mind to be able to handle all the dumb and crazy stuff customer service workers have to deal with. I really don’t think people can be superior to each other just because of their job. Your job doesn’t determine your importance or your worth to society. And I’m pretty sure you have to have more than a ninth grade education to be a server, because ninth graders are still pretty stupid. Waitress are a lot smarter than any ninth grader I’ve ever met, and a whole lot nicer too.

            I work in the mall and since I haven’t graduated college yet, I could definitely say you don’t need a college diploma to work in the mall. I could’ve worked in the mall when I was in ninth grade but I would have been way worse at my job. College doesn’t just provide you with knowledge about school stuff, you learn how to act better in social situations.
