I'm in my office at school (I teach a class while going to school so they put me up in a pretty nice office) and I notice down below that this young nice looking janitor has been working extremely hard for the last several hours. In a few minutes she'll come in as she always does with a smile on her face and ask me if I'd like or need anything. I can't help but think that my mocha whatever coffee drink and pie was more $ than her daily wage (our janitors only work from 4-8 am).
My ? is this...You see people all the time in jobs that have zero prestige busting their ass and you wonder if they have that much work ethic now why didn't they work hard earlier and put themselves in position for a better career? I know some mentally just do not have the ability but I talk to these people quite often and in general a good portion of them are intelligent people. I also wonder why people settle for these jobs. I know sometimes short term when they lose a job they take whatever they can find but often you'll find a decently intelligent person working a poor job for a very long time.
Blows my mind sometimes

...They put the higher up/important people lower. I like the view down into the atrium from up here though and all of the offices are the same size (one of the Dean's is in this building and his is no larger than mine).
