Thread: Steals some of the romance...

I work in the publishing industry and have seen rooms in a publishing house where, if you replaced computer terminals with sewing machines, you’d wonder if you had stumbled into a third world sweatshop.

Even if you live in a so-called first world country, you don’t have to go very far to find exploited and underpaid workers who have to labour in miserable and unsafe conditions.

One (wo)man's "exploitation...labour...conditions" is another's opportunity. As the saying goes, "It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it." (until they either quit, or get promoted... and the position gets filled, anew)
