    There are several jobs that are frequently mentioned in discussions like this that are actually thanked all of them time.

    Nurses, teachers, fire, EMTs and police are always mentioned. They are hard jobs and mostly under paid. However they are constantly thanked, businesses give discounts and commercials and politicians thank them endlessly.

    Grocery store workers, butchers, plumbers, electricians, custodians, truck drivers and most “menial jobs” are completely thankless. Think of the last time you saw a 10% off for nurses and if you’ve ever seen 10% off for overnight stockers.

      Electricians get thanked in money. I’m a paramedic and an electrician. I volunteer as a paramedic because electrician pays double.

      Nurses, teachers, fire, EMTs

      I,too, wanted to become fire when I grew up. Turns out it’s not a real job. Instead I became disappointed.
