Take This Job and Love It

This blog is in reponse to a essay called "Take This Job and Love It". This essay was about four myths about low-paying jobs. The first myth was that "low paying jobs are a dead-end". Low paying jobs are not always dead-end. It might lack in the monetary department but you learn some attributes that are necessary to succeed such as strong work ethic and character. Myth number two was that "low paying jobs destory confidence". I believe this is not true. I had a low paying job out of high school but I was proud of it because it was mine. It actually gave me the confidence to know that if could be great at this job I can do any job I please. The third myth was that "entry-level employees need the guidance only job-training programs can give." This statement is partially correct. Some entry-level employees do need trainning before the can preform the job at hand but some people just have a "natural talent" for certain things. Myth number four states that "employers look for ways to exploit their low-paid workers". With this one, it goes both ways. Monetary status is a form of authority in American society. Some employers feel because they are making more money the can have the ones beneath them do the "dirty work" so to speak. On the other hand some employers feel like they wouldn't have their employees do any job that they would not do.  For the most part these myths depend on the person not really on whether the job is low paying or not but then again you do have those times where money and authority paves your way in the workplace.
