[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Secretary here again--this whole thread is very degrading. "I wish I could leave my high-powered, highly-paid, high-responsibility job so I can just sit at the front desk smiling and drooling, and not have a care in the world." Maybe I should become a housekeeper, a nanny or mow lawns--those people seem so happy and carefree!

I'm sorry, I don't think you should feel degraded. I've had jobs that I could "leave" at the end of the day and leaving at 5:00 and I've had jobs like the one I have now that is never done, and where I could always be doing something after the kids go to bed. It's draining to never feel "off" of work. That's what is driving this thread, I think, not the idea that secretaries don't do real work. [/quote]

Agreed. I have a professional job, and don't want more responsibility, and have no emotional attachment to recognizing that some jobs above me have more responsibility. That's all this is. And you yourself PP then noted other jobs "below" you that have less responsibility than you have, so you recognize that it's true. [/quote]
