    There is a very big difference between a dishwasher and having a mum who owns a cleaning mangement company. Choosing to understand the business nature and expansion is worth giving up degree for.

    I think the poor perception of dishwashers are not the same for every country. It is common to find young people working in the same jobs in Turkey and people do not share the same low perception of this job. A job is a job. Parents got to stop teaching their kids to judge different occupations based on the pay. It's a stereotype that needs to be unlearned.

      Precisely. I saw young people working such jobs in japan too at airports etc. It's a honest job. some japanese people work as cleaners and they are proud of their job, unlike in sg, where people tend to look down on cleaners and jobs they deemed as low class.

    I think the most respectable part is that he chose to focus on the family business, understand it from the ground up, and kept his head down when people made snide remarks instead of flexing his actual position on them. He could easily have said so to 'keep face' and perpetuate the stigma against such humble yet important jobs, but I think it wise that he did not do so. Kudos to that.

    He seriously reminded me of my ex colleague. I used to work at a restaurant while waiting for Os result and the dishwasher was a 24 years old dude and i have gotta say after working at the back end of the kitchen, he was seriously one of my favourite. I felt so safe because i know there will always be him to help ensure the plates are clean and replenished in time and he was such a nice guy. I truly knew the importance of them and how the entire kitchen system would collapse without him without a dishwasher

    People who still think Dishwashing is a minimum wage job probably hasn't work in the F&B scene for decades. Dishwashers are in high demand due to lack of manpower, part time pay can be anywhere between $14-$20 per hour, which is much higher than servers and closer to PT Cook/Chef salary. Those putting $8-$10 will never get the role filled and usually force their servers to do it for $50 extra.
