[QUOTE="klmno, post: 134739, member: 3699"] So, is this co-worker an uppity snob or just so inexperienced in life that he/she doesn't know what he/she doesn't know? People choose jobs/professions for many different reasons, I think. Someetimes it's to just pay the bills and put food on the table. Sometimes it is a particular ability or interest that they are drawn to. The coworker sounds judgemental to me- my skin would have been crawling, too! PS- So what is wrong with wanting to provide what you can for your family and being willing to work an honest job to do it? I'm a single working Mom and I know sometimes it has been at a cost to my difficult child in some ways (quality time, etc.) but I, like most of us, try to find the right balance. There is something to be said for showing our kids good ethics- like working- too. [/QUOTE]
