I dont measure people by that standard. Its usually how they treat other people. Years ago, I had one apologize to me for being such an Ahole. He said he had been doing a lot of cocaine, when we worked together. Shortly after that, he banged his friends wife.

I know several guys who could dig ditches, but sitting on an excavator digging ditches does not interest them. Its called "Dirt work" Any excavator work pays pretty good. Been on a couple myself and towed a few to the job site. The guys who pick up a shovel are not low lifes. They usually just end up with bad backs. Thankfully, I dont have pickup a shovel every day.

Maybe if you knock the chip off your shoulder your attitude would improve.
