Is being a maid something to be ashamed of I really enjoy cleaning but I feel really embarrassed when I tell other people that I work as a maid 😔☹️
Is being a maid something to be ashamed of?
No honest work is ever something to be ashamed of. Living off of other people by choice when you have the ability to support yourself is what is shameful.
There are tens of millions of people in the service industry, whether they bring you your food, fix your car, build your house, mow your grass, or make your bed. Virtually every famous actor you know - and many that you will eventually know but haven't yet gotten their big break - have been or are currently in the service industry.
I wouldn't suggest it as a lifelong career - you could probably do more with your life - but there is absolutely no reason not to do something you are good at and enjoy doing, especially if you can make a living at it.
And anyone who says otherwise can kiss my ass right in the crack.

No, we have had maids in our parents home, when my grandma was alive and we needed help.
We were always respectful, and they were nice.
I think the only reason some people think of it as "low" is because there are a few instances where some maids have stolen items/money and even rarer instances where it was found out some were engaging in sex with the man of the house, for a little extra (this is particularly bad in the eyes of other women, since they see themselves as the gf/wife being cheated on).
I think those things are very rare tough, so its very biased to male assumptions. Most maids i have seen are respectable. It all depends on how you own it 😊
Anonymous(36-45)my sisiter in law work as a house keeping for the St. Regis... nothing wrong with it.
i know one couple who is older... she ditched the guy, becasue she couldn't suport herself and the guy, doesn't have a retirment to support her, so she broke up wiht him...
has notihing to do with being a maid... she happened to be one and i would say.. bad character.. him better off w/o her

I can see why it can sound embarrassing to some. Its more of a looked down position.
However, if thats what you love then thats great - become like a manager or supervisor of your department!

Why should you be ashamed for having a job that you enjoy. And you are making a living of it to. That is just great. Don't be ashamed or emberresed. If you are so will they. Embrace it instead.

Nah, if it helps pay the bills, clean away.

Not to me. I would probably ask about 30 questions... but I would think you know, work is work. I respect hardworking people, especially if they’re doing something they like. And if you enjoy it, and earn enough for a simple lifestyle, that’s awesome.
I’m a bit messy, myself. I like cleaning some rooms of the house, but if I ever make good money, I think I’d hire an organizer, and then a cleaner/maid so that I could be more organized Without all the work; if I cleaned as much as I should, in addition to having my current work and social life, I’d never sleep. - 439 opinions shared on Education & Career topic.
You are working, and doing what you can to make a living. That's called being responsible. Not something to be ashamed of.
My ex used to be a maid. She worked for a few different maid services. She was about the same age as you at the time, maybe a little older. She ended up doing pretty well in life. I wouldn't care what the woman I was dating was doing. She's working and making a living for herself. You shouldn't feel embarrassed or ashamed of that. Any guy who judges you for it isn't worth your time.

why should you be embarrassed? it's not like you're working as a stripper or porn star or hooker. work is work, sometimes you just don't get to pick and choose when there are limited positions and options available in your area and because you need to be able to support yourself and/or your family.
Don't tell people you're a maid. Just say you really enjoy cleaning as part of a healthy lifestyle, so people pay you for it.

In August and September, I dated a girl who was a house cleaner, It didn't bother me to have her attend social events with professional colleagues. It's honest work, she is a nice lady, and attractive, too! We broke up, but not because of her work!

You should never feel ashamed of who you are. I know its easier said then done, but there's nothing weong with being a maid. Its a job that most couldnt do. And do you have the french maid costume option if i hire you for services?

Not if you own your own business. Even if you don't, the only thing to be ashamed of is getting a check from the government because you can't feed yourself or your kids.
To be honest it's not something I'd mention. I'd rather say I was unemployed than a maid. I think it's better to be working then not doing anything at all but at the same time I'd just keep it to myself to avoid judgy people.
Anything that brings you satisfaction or joy should be completely free of shame, as long as you're not hurting someone. If someone else has a problem with what you do, or how or why, they're not worth your time. To thine own self be true, always.
316 opinions shared on Education & Career topic. Honest work is never something to be ashamed of. If you enjoy your work, you are better off than the large majority of Americans.
Why would it be?
No. It's a job. Much better - it's a legal job.
It pays the bills, brings food to the table.
Don't let other entitled people tell you otherwise.-
Not at all. It's a job that needs doing, and if you're happy doing it there's nothing wrong with that.
-
Nope. Any job worth doing is worth doing well. I've met gravediggers who were proud of their ability to do a good job. The real question is, why are you ashamed of it?
Work is work and money is money nothing to be ashamed of
It's okay. Don't be ashamed. No job is big or small. It's just how people see it.
Just enjoy your work and your life. Don't listen to people.-
Of course not! Your job is a honoured job as much as any other. Only gross people look down upon honest jobs.
Cheer up! -
I don't think you should be ashamed of your profession, you're simply providing a service :)

If you were born in a country that had free education and you weren't having any struggles, and you had oppurtunity to go college or uni that would be very embarrassing
