OMG!!
Thats incredible!!
We probably need to change mindset , I met a guy few years ago who left job in IT company and working in courier company to deliver courier .He was living in England ,and he told me he almost get same salary working in courier company . But his job is very less stressful and he used to interact people often , So he likes courier job than IT job .Everyone deserves same respect regardless of profession in a civilized world
