[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As A Man, I will tell you this, and its not meant as an excuse. For most men, their identity is their job. There is a part of him that knows the truth, but he is in a denial about it. It is too hard to let go of his image of himself. Assuming that he was once an "executive" of some sort at one point, to ask him to become a Target clerk is a painful blow to both his identity and pride. These people are in his mind beneath him. Its impossibly hard for him to become one of these people and worse take orders from them. (-BTW, I'm not making any judgements about Target employees, they're hard working people who deserve respect)

For these guys, its easier to keep hoping that face reality. The truth is that he needs an ass kicking. He needs to realize that any job is better than none. That any income is better than none. That you cannot keep carrying the burden by yourself for the sake of his pride.

That on this day Fathers Day, that he needs to ask himself what it means to be a man and that being a man isnt about the title you have, the suit you wear or the car you drive, its about stepping up and being responsible, ego and pride be damned.

+1000. Men and their sad, fragile egos tied up in their jobs. As PP said, none of that matters. How is he better than someone working at a lower wage job? He eats, sleeps and shits, right? Humility would do DH a lot of good. He needs to get a J-O-B, any J-O-B.[/quote]
