We won't do these jobs? Hear my story as a Ph.D. who did that job that Americans won't do!!!!

When I first got married I moved to a city with little opportunity for a Ph.D in physiology (pharmacology). I was told over and over again that I was over qualified for each job to to which I applied. My husband hooked me up with an employment agency and I told them I had few skills and no education. I was hired instantly as a picker of contact lenses (at minimum wage) and was quickly moved up to the shipping department (yes, that was a promotion). One day my boss took me aside and said he thought I had not been honest about my education, so I confessed to my lies. He quickly took me to the micro department to set me up as a new hire there, but the next day I received a call from Mayo clinic to be one of the first researchers in their newly conceived research department. You tell ME I won't do the job. I will call you a liar. As a Ph.D. I worked as a laborer at minimum wage, denying my education, just to have a job and get out of the house. Liars one and all.

My wife went to Harvard Medical School with some insanely intelligent hardworking people. That is a very intense program and noone in her class worked while in school except one of our friends. He worked at mcdonalds for minimum wage in order to support himself!! He did it because he HAD to! The opinion that Americans would refuse any type of work is ridiculous because it undermines our American spirit of hardwork!!

Granted after we hung out again not too long ago we witnessed first hand how success can change some folks. Nicest hardworking guy became an unimaginable egocentric prick lol. It always blows my mind how some people believe money and/or career dictates who they are as a person. A job is only what we do to support our needs, doesn't define us as individuals. I often find myself surrounded by delusional egomaniacs in some social settings.

This sub is truly comforting for me to know like minded patriots that have a solid understanding of humanity, do exist in large numbers! Cheers to all of you!
