when i was a kid my ma told me to work hard in school or else i'd end up a garbage man

look at me now, i got an office i barely see where i gotta make small talk and expense reports and casual workplace relationships i gotta maintain with banal smalltalk
while the garbage man has city government tier benefits with respectable pay, a job working outdoors with physical exertion to keep their body strong and can make anything they want vanish into the abyss of the municipal waste system never to be seen again
