I am amazed that there are still people who thinks most of us working at retails must be uneducated.

I used to work in two bookstores and most of them just finished high school and working full time while waiting for university offer. I have one who were taking full time and taking her masters at the same time. There was a acquaintance who just finished his engineering degree and worked for a couple of years to take it easy (he left and got a job in an oil gas company somewhere now).

Some choose to work where they are, despite having an education, because it is their passion. A ex-colleague was at his highest education level and he chose to be a team leader at a call centre because he likes it there.

Then there are always these few retards who thinks if you're not working 9-5, you're not wearing work clothing, you're not having a job that is easy to be understood at, then you're NOTHING, and "it's not a real job."

Fuck this shit. I read about how Japanese values the work, even if it's just picking up the garbage or mending a broken pottery, and we still have some judgmental pricks up to these days.

There was a father and a son, probably 10 or 11 years old, eating at quite a posh restaurant where my friend used to work. He was in a semester break.

Dad told the kid "You see? If you don't finish your high school, you would end up like them, working at restaurants" loudly. They were the only guests as it was early in the morning.

My friend was surprised and got ticked off. He then said to his colleague, who was working during semester break as well "When your university opens? I have not registered my subjects for the next semester", and then they talked a bit about their degree.

That father went red, paid the breakfast meal quietly and left.

Stop looking down at people just because they are cleaning the toilet bowl you sat on. If not for these 'uneducated' people making your so called educated life better, your life will be full of shit, for real.
