For me it’s teaching . One of my teachers was hugely inspirational and helped shape my career. For struggling families the teachers can end up doing bits of work which combine psychology and social work . Some do go into the career for the work life balance but some are in it to inspire and there needs to be a better trajectory for those in my opinion |

Respect is given and earned.You decide who deserves respect in your life. If the people in your life are not demonstrating actions that warrant respect from you then why would they deserve respect? I know what I deem as respectful and I act on that. Some people that are in authority are just plain wrong. I do not respect them I tolerate them as a matter of getting on with things. They do things that let me see are not nice people and hurt others. As for people in jobs that deserve respect I go back to, respect is earned an given no matter what your "status" is. That be if you are in high authority or if you are someone that has come on hard times. Its not the clothes we wear it's what's inside that counts in my opinion! (Dark) |

"Nobody is deserving of respect simply because of a position they hold. "
I am not particularly talking about individuals . It’s more whether a career is nurtured in a particular society given its potential societal impact . One’s experience of being a teacher or a Garda might be very different between countries because of the cultural and governmental perception of it |

Hmm the problem with that is that elevating the "status" of a particular career leads to another set of problems. |

Im sure there's lots and the lockdown certainly showed us that some of the lower paid jobs in this country deserved more thought and respect than they normally got beforehand ...and more money.
However just one job in the headlines last week that definitely deserves more respect
Referee's in GAA or soccer matches
When did it become acceptable to assault one and just walk off a pitch

That will continue as long as the GAA tolerates thuggery, and until on the pitch assaults are treated as the criminal offence such actions would be off pitch. |

I could be wrong but I believe that unless he makes a complaint then the Gardai can't take any action |

Unfortunately you can't sack civil servants in this country, it could be a game changer. If it's any consolation the worst teachers go on and become politicians (of course they hold on to their teaching job preventing the position to be filled with a devoted teacher - only in Ireland!).   |

GAA referees get paid....as do county managers and plenty of club mamagers too. Time to take the head out of the sand. |

Every job probably deserves more respect according to someone doing it somewhere 
Deserving of respect us more of a preseption rather that a given .
I believe different things warrant respect , and I also perceive different actions as respectful that the next person might 
However I think everyone can agree on a good blow job  |

That is another discussion altogether. For obvious rule breaking reasons it is not disclosed. My local club manager was on €400 A week. I was cashing his cheques |

100% agree with this. There are professions that may deserve more money and some that get too much however respect is an individual thing that's earned |

Parents with what they have to do for children. Especially if children have special needs or they see the problem but are not believed.
Years ago if you wanted to keep a child with special needs people would be disrespectful asking why you didn't lock them up or why you bring them outside they are so ugly.
Even sometimes the gave you that option at brith.
We live in better times but parents still have a fighting battle being judged for parenting skills or lack of them. Walk in another person's shoes before you judge them. We don't get a instruction book when baby is born. |

Teaching is more regulated now than it ever was. You can bring a complaint to the teaching council and it has to be investigated. Unfortunately education is a closed shop of you scratch my back, I scratch yours. Incompetent people (like most in the public service) get promoted above people who actually give a shit. |

Have to agree with you there. You receive training for most jobs, but parenting is something you "expected" to know about
For some people, they are not much more than kids themselves with no support from family.
Your expected to know it all or bluff your way through.
After parents, anyone who looks after / minds kids - it's a nightmare with headaches of regulation if your working for a provider, poor pay, very little gratitude.
Next are all the people who work in youth provision services. Contracts are often dubious and the level of hostilities that some put up with is a night mare. Your not a social worker but expected to fix the mess for a broken system that the state throws money at, |

Honest building workers , the winters here are a lot longer than the Summer's, and l think people should respect them simply because if it's pouring rain a Carpenter has kept you dry , if you have anything timber in your house a carpenter has done it , a blocklayer has built your house , a plasterer has made your house ready for the painter , a Plummer has everything working when you need it ,an electrician has you just flicking the switch, so don't ever think just because those that are in the trades are people that don't contribute..they do and should be respected. |

Cleaners, especially of toilets in public facilities are insufficiently appreciated. Most are female and on minimum wage with poor working conditions, obviously and with a minimum of other employment benefits.
I personally make a point of commenting on the cleanliness of the facility and what a good job they are doing.
The condition that some users leave the toilets in is appalling.
Cleaners provide a vital service; more users should thank them, in person. |
