You have been gainfully employed for most of 20 years now. How can you claim to say that I am wrong when you have not walked a mile in my shoes?
Why is it so important to you that people walk in your shoes?
I don't think anyone is trying to tell you that you are wrong. You are just not playing with a full deck if you tell people that this job is so bad.
I ask, why are there thousands of kids getting into it, if what you say is general knowledge?
