TBH I think anybody who cleans windows for a living is a useful if fairly lowly member of society and I'm one myself.
Can you explain exactly what you mean by a "fairly lowly member of society" please.
Did you not read my post fully?
I was trying to establish why window cleaners may have a low image in answer to the OP ( Re: Low image of window cleaners or myth?)
"Society" means the whole strata of people.
I tried to explain that although some people bang on about money how much you earn is not indicative to your standing or how you are perceived in aforesaid "society".
As I said previously most people would place lower money earners like nurses, teachers, lads and lasses in the military higher in their estimation of value to "society" than window cleaners.
If you were in hospital who would be uppermost in your estimation, the nurses or the window cleaner?
If you were at school, college or university who would be uppermost in your estimation, the tutors or the window cleaner?
Just because we are all in this business shouldn't make us blind to what goes on outside and how "ordinary" people perceive us.
