Based
on the type of work a person does – people can be classified in general into
three types; A) Laborers B) professionals and C) Intellectuals.
The
lowest of these on the ladder is the ‘laborers’. This kind of people in general
have a less ‘intelligence’ and are not fit to get any job that requires ‘average’
intelligence. So, these people will settle into jobs that demand no much skill
or knowledge or talent. Generally these will do the low level jobs like: hotel
servers, gate keepers, cleaners, etc. These class of people long for professional
‘jobs’ but, will fail to get as they are not mentally mature enough.
Next
level of people is the educated employees in general holding different degrees
and diplomas. These people struggle to get the best education possible and
consequently the best possible jobs that suit their caliber. These people
struggle for jobs and are dissatisfied when they fail to attain their dream job
and unfortunately they often fail to get the job they long for. Majority of these
people doing jobs are dissatisfied with their jobs.
The
people at the second level are either ‘skilled’ in some or the other thing or ‘knowledgeable’
in some field. They hire their ‘time’ in return for some ‘salary’ and other benefits.
Majority of these people look for ‘better salary’ options always. These persons
sell their ‘skill’ or ‘knowledge’ for survival and these persons can be
replaced with other persons in the job they are doing – as these people
generally don’t have or don’t contribute anything ‘original’ throughout their
life time.
If
these two classes of persons are not doing jobs it is a loss to these people
concerned and to the economy of the country as well. But, if the third class persons,
‘intellectuals’ settle into jobs, then it a ‘loss’ to these persons and to the ‘country’,
the world and perhaps to the humanity as a whole. Take for example the case of
the famous English poet ‘William Wordsworth’. He was employed as the ‘poet laureate’
in the court of the Queen Elizabeth. Wordsworth, in fact worked in the court
for 8-years. But, unfortunately he couldn’t write even a piece of poetry for
one or the other reason. Thus dejected, he resigned the ‘job’ and settled in
the present ‘lake district’ of England and continued his writing and there
after produced many of his best works. Had he worked in the court of the Queen,
he wouldn’t have written the ‘best of his writings’ and thus would have wasted
his time and life as well. He wouldn’t have got the fame too; England would
have lost a great poet, the humanity, the world would have lost a ‘great poet’
and some of the great poems. So, had he worked – it would be a loss to him, the
country, the world, and the humanity as a whole. By NOT working he and his life
were all fulfilled; he got money, he got reputation, he helped the human race
and etc., which he wouldn’t have got if he had worked. So, by not working he
helped himself, his country, the world and the humanity as well.
This
third class of persons, the intellectuals can get ‘jobs’, but they don’t like
to do jobs. Instead these persons earn by different methods like; writing
books, through their inventions (patents), discoveries, etc. I.e., by doing ‘original’
works, which ONLY they can do and NO one else. These people are NOT replaceable
at the work they are doing.
Amongst
these three classes of people, the ‘intellectuals’ are the least in number and
the other two will come next and their order depends on the educational level
of the society concerned.
