I think you and me think alike in many ways. I am grateful for anything I receive even if I probably deserve it. I don't mind taking on jobs others may seem as beneath them as it is all about providing and having some self pride in yourself.
I think today's youngsters have no clue and no plan b if their world falls apart. My brother is a lawyer in London and from what I remember was more often than not working manual labor jobs between contracts. He even flipped burgers at a take away and I know he can't even cook properly. We just do what we have to do .
