re: Embarrassing jobs that parents have

My dad was a shoe salesman during the day and a pizza delivery driver at night. As a kid I wasn’t embarrassed because I thought it was awesome he wore a Domino’s uniform and brought home free pizza from time to time.

Then he got a new job unloading trucks at a large retail store, which I wasn’t embarrassed about because I thought it was cool that his work place was pretty much underneath the store, surrounded by large 18 wheelers, and called the “dock.” His coworkers cussed and were loud and would drink beer at our house some weekends.

Then that hard work and those diverse experiences finally paid off for him when he got promoted to a management position and eventually got his own store to lead.

Never attack a man for the work he does as long as it’s honest work with hard work ethic.
